Projects · A Guardian Angel with VOCES8

Piece variations may alter in each programme:

“There’s a glossy, flawless quality to Voces8’s blend, their balance and delivery, that can cut both ways … The rougher voice of Podger’s violin is the perfect corrective. Keening and crooning through Biber’s extraordinary solo Passacaglia … Podger took us from darkness to light.” iNews
