We are thrilled to announce that Savannah Porter will be joining VOCES8 as Andrea’s successor.
During Savannah’s recent visit to London, we had the pleasure of filming a performance of @olagjeilo ‘Northern Lights’, which you can watch on YouTube here:

⭐️NEW MUSIC FRIDAY⭐️
'Fossá' by Mars Smith, from 'Faroe Islands: Echoes on the Wind,' is inspired by Fossá's dual waterfalls. Semi-improvised and semi-composed, it mirrors the waterfall's essence: always familiar, yet never the same. 💧
