Hodie completi sunt dies Pentecostes, alleluia: hodie Spiritus Sanctus in igne discipulis apparuit, et tribuit eis charismatum dona: misit eos in universum mundum prædicare, et testificari: Qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit, alleluia. ...  moreHodie completi sunt dies Pentecostes, alleluia: hodie Spiritus Sanctus in igne discipulis apparuit, et tribuit eis charismatum dona: misit eos in universum mundum prædicare, et testificari: Qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit, alleluia. Today the days of Pentecost are fulfilled, alleluia: Today the Holy Spirit appeared in fire to the disciples, and gave unto them the gift of grace: He hath sent them into all the world to foretell and bear witness: that whosoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved, alleluia.  less

It is made up of James Rose (Founder), Sam Robson, Emily Dankworth, Ben Cox, Martynas Vilpisauskas and Lewis Daniel, all young and talented musicians from the Guildhall School of Music. Performing live on stage around London with guest singers such as Jacqui Dankworth, VIVE brings rich, diverse harmonies with a fresh, contemporary sound, taking inspiration from the legendary Take 6 and the Real Group! Their music is mainly original arrangements and compositions and what's more, the focal point is not just pop, fusion, harmony, jazz, spirituals... but a complete synthesis of all of these. They will be performing a set of originals and covers, including original compositions 'Voices', and 'Ezekiel Saw De Wheel' - the latter proclaimed "Genius" by Mervyn Warren! "YOU HAVE A GREAT BLEND" - Alvin Chea, take 6 "a very good sense for arranging harmony for voices" - Dr Dent Take 6  less
