VOCES8 & Future Talent: Underneath the Stars

After a year of meeting online and recording virtual choir performances, the VOCES8 Future Talent singers were able to meet and sing together at Milton Abbey in July 2021. Here they are singing 'Underneath the Stars' (arr. Jim Clements) with VOCES8. Many congratulations to the singers:
Kizzy Lumley-Edwards (soloist), Olivia Harrison-Laverack, Kimberley Falkenthal-Smith, Ruth Tounkam, Dylan Hirst and Alex Wrathall. It's been a joy to work with you.

Passing the torch while the torch still shines brightly!

Awww it looks like the soloist lady in the dress nearly fainted when everyone started clapping! Poor lady! She did such a great job!

What a wonderful opportunity for those young singers to join Voces8 for a workshop. They looked thrilled and petrified at the same time!!

Amazing! I'm listening to this very late at night as I can't sleep and it's so soothing, so wonderful! And I love to see these super talented young people participating alongside you, and everyone is just wearing their regular clothes. Classical choral music is not only for old people all dressed in black. It's just as well for young people wearing ripped jeans. Thank you for this lovely video, it brought a smile to my face!

So much promise. What a lovely gift they have.

Oh my, this is super special. Sat in the car late at night, rain tumbling down outside, and utterly transfixed x

[kirigirisu]

Thank you for sharing !
It was more than wonderful.
I became so innocent.

We need more of this: it's awesome!

Congratulations to you all and particularly to the wonderful young singers that VOCES8 is helping to nurture and support as they launch on their own music journeys. Just beautiful and thank you all for your courage to sing like this 😀. And VOCES8 you are all remarkable humans. Love to you all.

[dianesanderson]

One of the most sublime songs I've ever heard. Wish l could sing this with such a high calibre choir.

[danielfryer]

I can't think of anything else to say than ... exquisitely beautiful!

[rebeccamclaren]

So talented 👏 Gave me goose bumps as always- but this is one of my favourite pieces yet 💕

[stephenbaker]

A wonderful start to a singing/musical career. I can't fault this choir/soloist - the song itself is really beautiful.😍
