The Grammy-nominated British vocal ensemble VOCES8 inspires people with “eight beautifully integrated solo voices… persuasive and committed singing” (BBC). Central to the ensemble’s ethos is a diverse musical expression — the group performs an extensive repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary times that will appeal to aficionados of a cappella vocal music. In the Seattle premiere of Winter Tales, there’s something for everyone, from thoughtful religious themes by Bach and Britten to holiday favorites that celebrate the season.
