Vox Urbane and Stanford University Chamber Chorale collaborate in a celebration of diversity in choral music.
Vox Urbane, described by Musical America as ‘an important and accomplished new voice on the choral scene' is an outstanding professional vocal ensemble established in response to the lack of diversity in classical choral music. After a successful launch concert which received a 4 star review in The Guardian, VU is delighted to be performing with Stanford University Chamber Chorale in a concert which celebrates diversity. Music will include works by Judd Greenstein, Tara Mack, Joanna Marsh, Cecilia McDowall, Roxanna Panufnik and Shruti Rajasekar.
Hailed as one of America's top collegiate ensembles, the Stanford Chamber Chorale is Stanford University's most select choir. Members of the ensemble are graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University and hail from across the United States and around the world. The Chorale’s two most recent CDs appeared on the first-round ballot for the Grammy Awards in several categories, including 'Best Choral Performance'. Beyond campus, the Chorale regularly undertakes international tours to Asia and Europe as well as domestic travel to major U.S. cities. They have performed in the great British cathedrals of Ely, Exeter, Lincoln, Newport, Norwich, Salisbury, Wells, York, and Llandaff, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum, collegiate chapels in Oxford (New College, Magdalen College, Jesus College) and Cambridge (King’s College, St John’s College, Trinity College), the Great Hall of the People (Beijing), and the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC). While abroad the Chorale has been privileged to collaborate with a number of ensembles, among them the Choirs of St John’s College and Trinity College, Cambridge and the Chamber Choir of the Berlin University of the Arts. This concert forms part of their 2023 UK concert tour.
