Vox Urbane

Description

Join us for the launch of Vox Urbane's Inaugural London Season: Responses. A series of three curated concerts which reflect upon past musical traditions and offer a new vision of what classical choral music can be, who it is for, and who it can represent. Responses I, the first concert in the Inaugural London Season, offers a vibrant and eclectic musical response to an uncertain world. The evening includes groundbreaking new vocal music including works by Björk, Imogen Heap, Lillie Harris, Shruti Rajasekar, Joanna Marsh and Caroline Shaw, and a world premiere from Barbara Dudek. Dudek’s ’Song of the Sirens’ is a sonic exploration of Odysseus’s journey back to Ithaca taken from Homer’s ’The Oddysey’. This piece will bring together extended vocal techniques, gestural movement and electronics to immerse the audience in a multi-disciplinary mythical epic. Founded by Helen Meyerhoff and Dan Ludford-Thomas, Vox Urbane is a professional vocal ensemble with a mission to tackle the lack of diversity in classical choral music. We represent marginalised voices through our lineup of artists of diversity – ethnicity, socio-economic, gender and neurodiverse. We are also fostering a new wave of talent – seeking out and nurturing outstanding singers of diversity for the future. Vox Urbane’s sell-out launch concert took place in 2023 at the Asylum Chapel, Peckham. It was hailed by Musical America as “an auspicious launch for an important and accomplished new voice on the choral scene” and received a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from The Guardian who said that the group “impresses and inspires” with “a different, diverse perspective”. 23 Nov // Responses I // Croydon https://www.universe.com/events/responses-i-tickets-GMSHDT 24 Nov // Responses II // Lewisham https://www.universe.com/events/responses-ii-tickets-LJS068 27 Nov // Responses III // Hackney https://www.universe.com/events/responses-iii-tickets-6V7KSM
