Voces Boreales 8
Formed in 2006, Montreal’s premier chamber choir Voces Boreales has established itself as an important presence in the Canadian music landscape. Through performance, commissioning of new works, education, and outreach, the ensemble raises awareness of the culture and rich tradition of choral music.
Eager to explore different repertoire, Voces Boreales forms vocal octet VB8, made up of 8 handpicked Voces Boreales choristers, and launches Winter Magic, its debut album.
Voces Boreales has built a solid reputation of artistic excellence, virtuosity, and boldness, prompting many meaningful collaborations with guests such as Quebec poet Hélène Dorion, Bozzini Quartet, Quasar, Bradyworks, Flûte Alors!, and Architek Percussion. The ensemble has performed at several prestigious events such as Festival de Lanaudière, Festival Bach Montréal, and Festival Montréal/Nouvelles Musiques. Voces Boreales was nominated five times for the Opus Awards, acknowledging and encouraging excellence in Québec's classical music community.
