The Big Sing: A Festival of Voices in Holland

This week, we're thrilled to be taking part in two special events in the Netherlands as part of The Big Sing Festival.

On Thursday 3 July, we'll be joining forces with our friends VOCES8 for a special concert at Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, performing a collaborative programme 'STARS' which showcases our favourite music from the Renaissance to the present day. We'll sing works both separately and together with VOCES8 by Palestrina and Esenvalds alongside arrangements of Nat King Cole, Billy Joel and more.

On Friday 4 July, we'll head to the Philharmonie Haarlem to take part in the Big Sing Summer School which promises to be an exciting day of workshops, masterclasses and shared music-making. We're looking forward to working with singers from all backgrounds as we share what matters most to ensemble singing: listening. We’ll explore how we singers should listen, adapt to what we hear, and deliver the message of any given song to an audience. 

These two events represent two sides of what we love most: the thrill of performing and the joy of sharing what we do with others. Whether you're in the audience in Amsterdam or joining us in Haarlem, we can't wait to see you there.
