Ayibobo pou yo!

Guided by the works of ages past and inspired by the composers of today, Voce’s unique sound has been acclaimed as “exemplifying Choral performance at its finest” as expressed by world-renowned composer Morten Lauridsen. Noted for its “tender warmth, exquisite nuance and enduring spirit” by the American Record Guide, and described as “heartbreakingly bEautiful” by Stereophile Magazine, each Voce Concert is an experience of sound - a journey of harmony. less

In a garden shady this holy lady
With reverent cadence and subtle psalm,
Like a black swan as death came on
Poured forth her song in perfect calm:
