ABOUT THE EVENT

MusicFest Vancouver is proud to present the Vancouver debut of Nordic Voices. This six-voice a cappella vocal ensemble from Oslo is regarded as one of the world’s leading ensembles of its genre. Performing a repertoire ranging from mediaeval to contemporary works, the six singers are unrivaled in the fine art of sophisticated music-making and stylish performance. Nordic Voices has been hailed by international critics for its live appearances and remarkable recordings.

"Such mesmerizing talent is rare.... Whatever language, it was the group's astonishing range of sonic vocabulary... that thrilled the senses and sent an emotional message no listener could miss"  Washington Post
