Set in VOCES8's stunning church in the heart of the city.
Broadcast in HD from the intimate setting of the VOCES8 Centre, this new online festival includes some of the world's finest vocal ensembles. The line-up includes VOCES8, I Fagiolini, Stile Antico, The Swingles, The Sixteen (from Kings Place), The Gesualdo Six, Apollo5, Chanticleer (from San Francisco), and a special guest appearance by The Academy of Ancient Music.
These award-winning ensembles bring you their favourite works and pieces for which they've become renowned, singing repertoire from the Renaissance to contemporary A Cappella - a veritable 'transport of delight' from the superb acoustic of Wren's St Anne and St Agnes Church in the heart of the City of London.
The festival will be broadcast online every Saturday at 7pm for ten weeks from the 1st of August, offering a chance for a worldwide audience to reconnect with live choral music. Each broadcast concert lasts 60 minutes. All ticket holders will be able to watch live and/or on demand from the date of broadcast until 3rd October and in addition will be granted viewing rights to the full 4K post-produced concert film(s) they have purchased from 4th-31st October.
