Choeur d'enfants d'écoles et de collèges d'Île-de-France
In the spirit of Bobby McFerrin’s extensive use of all the registers of the human voice, Voces8 explore the repertoire of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in eight-voice polyphony.  This a cappella ensemble encourages the audience to participate in the show by performing well-known standards from the worlds of film and jazz, with works by Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Jessie J, Bricusse and Newly, Otis Blackwell, and more.
