These "Serenaders" seek opportunities to perform a cappella Choral repertoire spanning from the Renaissance up through the 21st century, in glorious art filled churches and unique venues throughout the "off-the-beaten-path" regions of Europe, in charming hill top towns, with other likeminded Choral singers, worKing with leading Choral conductors in the field. SERENADES Choral Travel singing participants and their travel companions, in addition to staying in 4-star accommodations during this unique, comprehensive and life transforming artistic and cultural program, also get to "taste" what the local region offers culturally, be it exquisite art, architecture, history, as well as the local food and wine, through guided tours, special organized meals in hand-picked re...    less

Members saw the need for a name which reflected their distinctive sound and Musical objectives. They chose Voyces – a uniting image, powerful in its simplicity, a word with a bit of a twist, reflecting the eclectic and often unusual repertoire of the choir. In using the archaic spelling – ‘Voyces’ – the choir acknowledges thousands of years of rich Choral tradition whilst establishing itself in the 21st century Choral landscape. The choir is fast maKing a name for itself premiering works never before heard in Perth or in fact the world. Voyces seeks to be an interactive and involved performing group in the local WA and wider Australian Musical community. As a strong supporter of emerging young composers and Australian composers, Voyces showcases their works on a regular basis.  less
