Summer 2022

‘Super-Choral, Super-Excellent’ aptly described The VOCES8 Foundation’s seventh LIVE From London which set your summer soul soaring. From Apollo5 and Fraser Wilson’s world premiere opening, Invocations, the festival featured artists and sound worlds from South Africa to Scotland, Phoenix to Portugal.

VOCES8 shared its summer touring exclusively with LFL audiences in a series of tracks filmed from across Europe. ‘Super-Excellent’ polychoral glory shined brightly from a multi-choir I Fagiolini at St Martin-in-the-Fields and Chineke! Voices making its debut concert showcasing works by Portuguese Renaissance composer Vicente Lusitano.

In honour of Vaughan Williams’s 150th anniversary VOCES8 was joined by its VOCES8 Scholars to perform his Mass in G Minor from the gilded arches of Milton Abbey. Debut artists include: Grammy Award-winning Phoenix Chorale, and South African choir the TUKS Camerata which performed alongside VOCES8 from Christ Church Spitalfields. This summer edition showcased four concerts from the 2021 Oxford Chamber Music Festival ‘Transcendence’ in LIVE From Oxford, including Transfigured Love, a spell-binding recital featuring Ian Bostridge and Julius Drake alongside OCMF Artistic Director and violinist Priya Mitchell performing songs by Beethoven, Pärt, Schubert and Schumann.

Our joyous summer season was filmed live with audiences, and featured stunning venues from across the UK, Europe and the USA. The VOCES8 Foundation and LIVE From London continue to support other artists, arts organisations, education, community and diversity work around the world.
