Winner of 5 Grammy Awards, the London-based Swingle Singers are known around the world for their vocal mastery, tireless invention, and just plain entertaining performances. They are hands-down the best 'a cappella' (all music is made with only the human voice) group around. On their 50th anniversary International Tour, the seven young and versatile voices of the troupe's current incarnation presents a thrilling live theater performance on Friday, February 27, at 8:00 p.m. This is vocal ensemble music-making at its highest level.
For five decades (and over 50 albums) the ensemble has been setting the standard for vocal agility, while pushing the boundaries of musical innovation. The 2 sopranos, 1 alto, 2 tenors, and 2 basses of today's group bring that creative heritage up to date with their dazzling versions of timeless pieces, from Bach to Bjork, and Joni Mitchell to Piazzolla.
Recent engagements for the group include almost every major music medium and venue, from La Scala Opera House in Milan, to the soundtracks of 'Sex and the City' and 'Glee.' Their extensive repertoire encompasses Pop, Rock, Jazz, Latin and Classical styles, and yes, all sounds are made using only the human voice.
The Swingle Singers present their own annual London A Cappella Festival at Kings Place each January, and dominated the UK gig scene last year with concerts at Lovebox Festival, Llandeilo Festival, Ronnie Scott's, Vintage at Goodwood, Haselstock, and a sell-out residency at Jazz Club Soho. Recent tours included Europe and the UK of course, plus Canada, Italy, Israel, Russia, and Turkey.
Whether it's a Bach aria re-imagined as a chilling murder ballad, or a meltingly beautiful interpretation of a favorite Beatles tune, The Swingle Singers bring their virtuosic voices and theatrical creativity to repertoire spanning five centuries.
