classicalmusic_2018_theswinglesandlatvianvoices

Vocal supergroup The Swingles begin their LSO St Luke’s residency this autumn with acclaimed a cappella group Latvian Voices.

Combining The Swingles’ unique and rich sound world with Latvian Voices’ ethereal soundscapes, this eclectic concert will intertwine music from across the world. Expect harmonically colourful, rhythmically and melodically multi-layered arrangements of folksongs, original compositions with folk lyrics and compositions by Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds.

For more than half a century, The Swingles have pushed the boundaries of vocal music. The seven young singers that make up today’s London-based group are driven by the same innovative spirit that has defined the five-time Grammy winners since they first made waves in the 1960s.

A capella ensemble Latvian Voices have developed a unique vocal style, drawing together styles and sounds from nations around the world Since their formation in 2009.

Duration: to be confirmed closer to the event.
