Theatre of Voices

Theatre of Voices, founded in 1990 by the British conductor, singer, and writer Paul Hillier, is considered one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles. With nearly 50 releases to their name and prestigious awards such as a Grammy Award and the Danish Radio’s P2 Prize, the ensemble has long been recognised for its exceptional performances. Theatre of Voices’ repertoire covers a wide spectrum of genres, from early music to modern sound-art installations and opera. Along with a uniquely clear and distinct sound, the ensemble’s versatility has led to close collaborations with composers such as Arvo Pärt, Steve Reich, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Adams, Kaija Saariaho, David Lang, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and many others. The ensemble has also contributed to the world of film with soundtracks for works such as the Oscar-winning La Grande Bellezza (Paolo Sorrentino) and Arrival (Denis Villeneuve). Since 2003, Theatre of Voices has been based in Copenhagen. The group has been nominated twice for the Nordic Council Music Prize and has performed at several esteemed festivals, concert halls, and opera houses around the world. Some of these notable venues include Teatro Real, Palais Garnier, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Barbican Centre, and the Sydney Opera House.
