Synopsis

This 60-minute concert will present some of the finest and most achingly beautiful music written by European composers for a cappella voices during the last four centuries.

This programme includes works such as Purcell's Hear my prayer, Lotti's Crucifixus, Saint-Saëns' Calme des nuits, Grieg's Ave maris stella, and Biebl's Ave Maria, and will provide some much-needed balm for every music-loving soul.

Who is VB8?

VB8 is a versatile octet, composed of members of Voces Boreales, performing contemporary works by young, up-and-coming composers, and older, established repertoire.
