Join VOCES8 in the tranquil setting of Ampleforth Abbey as they celebrate twenty years of music-making together. Their programme journeys from the Renaissance splendour of Gibbons and Lassus to contemporary reflections by Caroline Shaw and Jake Runestad. It also features Allegri’s famous Miserere and Elgar’s Nimrod, while Kate Rusby’s Underneath the Stars adds a gentle folk strand to this wide-ranging tapestry.
‘The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning’ Gramophone
