Join members of the VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble and Wishful Singing to experience the meditative beauty of Gregorian chant!

Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge

The program is a journey through the rich history of Gregorian chant, featuring both well-known classics and forgotten masterpieces, performed according to original medieval manuscripts. In addition, Wishful Singing and the VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble will perform contemporary compositions inspired by the Gregorian heritage, including works such as Ubi Caritas by Maurice Duruflé and Ave Generosa by Ola Gjeilo. Highlights of the program include Viderunt omnes by the 12th-century composer Perotinus and Dum transisset Sabbatum by John Taverner, where polyphonic singing and Gregorian psalmody come together. The unique interplay between the clear voices of Wishful Singing and the deep tones of the VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble promises a mystical experience for music enthusiasts. <a href="https://www.wishfulsinging.nl/" title="https://www.wishfulsinging.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wishful Singing</a> is a leading all-female vocal ensemble from the Netherlands, with a strong reputation for performing a broad repertoire ranging from early music, folk, close harmony, and contemporary music.
