Under the musical direction of Kevin Fox (UK) and the baton of house conductor Erez Tal, vocalocity performs mostly original arrangements of a range of cutting-edge rock/pop/jazz music. The singers, all of whom come from a background in modern a cappella, range in age but are mostly around their 20s-30s.
After a fruitful year, including 3 full-house concerts and several festivals, working with leading acapella masters such as Line Groth and Eric Bosio, collaborating with leading arrangers, composers and artists and recording for the upcoming Swingle Singers CD, we are looking forward 2015 with a visit to Aarhus vocal Festival and creating some new recording and video clips of our own.
vocalocity operates under the auspices of Mil”a, the Israeli Center for Choral Groups. less
