A cappella music will soar through Holy Name of Jesus Church Uptown on Feb. 17 when the British octet VOCES8 performs at 7:30 p.m.
The Grammy-nominated ensemble has traveled globally, bringing its unique sound and extensive repertoire in featured performances and in company with orchestras and a host of other musicians.
The group, currently touring the United States and Canada after several appearances in France, will also perform in Baton Rouge on Feb. 18 at First United Methodist Church on North Boulevard in the downtown area.
The vocalists are the performance flagship for the VOCES8 Foundation, which promotes music education. They perform a diverse portfolio of music, from classical sacred works like “Sanctus” from Gabriel Fauré’s “Requiem” to “Send in the Clowns” from Stephen Sondheim’s musical “A Little Night Music” and the jazzy “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” by Manning Sherwin.
Tickets for the New Orleans concerts will start at $35; they are $30 in Baton Rouge. For information and tickets, visit voces8.com.
