Under the musical direction of Kevin Fox (UK) and the baton of house conductor Erez Tal, vocalocity performs mostly original arrangements of a range of cutting-edge rock/pop/jazz music. The singers, all of whom come from a background in modern a cappella, range in age but are mostly around their 20s-30s. After a fruitful year, including 3 full-house concerts and several festivals, working with leading acapella masters such as Line Groth and Eric Bosio, collaborating with leading arrangers, composers and artists and recording for the upcoming Swingle Singers CD, we are looking forward 2015 with a visit to Aarhus vocal Festival and creating some new recording and video clips of our own. vocalocity operates under the auspices of Mil”a, the Israeli Center for Choral Groups.  less

Composed and conducted by Artistic Director, Gordon Hamilton, this innovative new Facebook Song takes The Australian Voices where no choir has dared to go - the inner space of the Internet and the unexplored and unexpected worlds of new experiences, bizarre human relationships and pop culture adoration.

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Some people just love anything that’s finely honed, all shined up, squeaky clean, highly skilled and perfectly rendered. Not me.     ...

Participants performed in the crypt of the legendary Sagrada Família in Barcelona, in the historic Sant Romà Church in Lloret de Mar, and joined choirs from different countries to fill the city’s main square with music. The competition became a true platform for cultural exchange: creative meetings, joint rehearsals, and masterclasses with international experts gave participants new knowledge and lasting inspiration. Golden Voices of Barcelona is more than just a competition — it is an event where music transcends borders and unites hearts. More Info https://choirs.fiestalonia.net/  less
