Voices – A Festival of Song
Warm up those vocal cords for Voices – A Festival of Song, returning for its 12th edition at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay from December 5 to 8. Expect a symphony of styles, from choral and opera to a cappella and beatboxing, that will leave you singing praises. Feel festive on December 6 with Morning Star: The Spirit of Christmas, where British ensemble The Gesualdo Six delivers timeless carols, both traditional and modern. For more holiday cheer, Australia’s The Idea of North brings new a cappella tracks and soulful covers in Live, Actually with The Idea of North on December 8. These award-winning stars will be joined by the Voices Festival Choir, a group of auditioned youth choristers brought together for the festival. Show some local love to Singapore’s very own soprano Joyce Lee Tung on December 7 with Mare-Dness – Daytime Delirium, a theatrical take on life’s everyday chaos through the genre of Art Song. Then, unleash your inner popstar at Karaoke Box, belt out Mandopop hits with local singer-songwriter Elton Lee, or learn to sing with sign language at Vocal Focal: Song Signing. Don’t miss the Voices Beatbox Battle for some high-energy fun too. Mark your calendars now and get ready to hit all the right notes.
