This week’s concerts will also feature cellist Alisa Weilerstein, violinist Stefan Jackiw, organist Ruben Valenzuela and pianist and SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan
The London-based choir VOCES8 will perform in concerts on Aug. 7, 9 and 11 as part of La Jolla Music Society’s 2024 SummerFest series. One of the world’s most-streamed classical vocal groups, VOCES8, recently caught the ear of a couple of influential people: singer-songwriter Paul Simon and La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan.
VOCES8 mezzo-soprano Katie Jeffries-Harris, also in the Zoom meeting, chimed in: “One of the joys of Voces8 is versatility in the repertoire that we cover. Our albums are very different from each other.” Miller is one of three singers who will audition for VOCES8 in San Diego for a permanent spot. Auditions are being held in the U.S. during VOCES8’s tour and in London and Australia.
“The opening of Mozart’s Dissonance has a kind of mysterious air to it, which perhaps reflects the kind of uncertain timelessness of the Pärt piece.” VOCES8 will then present songs from its repertoire, ranging from Rachmaninoff and Beethoven to American composers Caroline Shaw, Jake Runestad and Reena Esmail.
“There’s an infinite range of possibilities,” Jackiw replied. “From large questions like: ‘What is this piece about?’ to more specific ones, like: ‘How large or slight should the crescendo be’?” “This Ravel is edgy and grainy. It’s sometimes combative between instruments. Sterling brings energy, thoughtfulness and creativity to every collaboration.
