VOCES8 Scholars is a vocal ensemble made up of young professional singers who have previously taken part in the annual VOCES8 Scholars programme at the VOCES8 Foundation. This training programme, organised by the original Grammy Award–winning members of VOCES8, provides a platform each year for emerging talents who are about to step onto the international stage. Each year, the programme selects eight singers in the United Kingdom and twelve singers in the United States who demonstrate outstanding potential in choral and chamber vocal performance.

The young singers give concerts throughout the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. The ensemble performs a wide-ranging repertoire, both in its a cappella concerts and in collaborations with leading musicians, orchestras, conductors and soloists.

The Ensemble’s work in 2024-2025 included performances across the UK including London’s Kings Place, Lancaster Priory, the Royal Naval College Greenwich, ‘Shakespeare in Music’ in Stratford on Avon, ‘Gregorian Treasures’ in London and Cambridge with the Dutch ensemble Wishful Singing and ‘Fruit of Silence’ with McNicol Ballet Collective at the Royal Academy of Music, London.

They also gave concerts in France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. In the 2025-2026 season they will sing at events and give concerts in the UK, in Spain, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Sweden and Colombia. Their debut album will be released for VOCES8 Records, called ‘Songs of Doubt and Wonderment’ featuring the music of Mårten Jansson with the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, conducted by Ragnar Bohlin.

The Ensemble also takes part in concerts and recordings alongside VOCES8 and as part of the larger VOCES8 Foundation Choir.
