Choral music across centuries, spaces and sounds
Based in Cape Town, VOX explores an unusually wide choral landscape from intimate a cappella repertoire to large-scale orchestral works. Our programmes bring established masterpieces into conversation with seldom-heard music, contemporary works and new compositions from South Africa.
Where we perform matters, too. VOX has sung in cathedrals and concert halls, galleries and wine cellars, a bakery and a brewery. Each performance is shaped around its repertoire, its setting and its audience, creating an experience that belongs to that particular place and moment.

Press & Reviews
"...A mind massage of masterful sound – such delicious clarity of notes that resonated with every fibre of attention."
"Described as Cape Town's most innovative chroal collective, VOX Cape Town has fast established itself as astandout on the local music scene."
"It is heartening to find this expression of a joy, artistry and fellowship that can only be achieved through concentrated effort, endless rehearsal and unwavering attention to one’s co-performers."
"A VOX concert is not just a choir concert. It is an exploration of mood and meaning, and how a group of human voices – in times where the news-cycle is less than ideal – can bring a message of love, hope and beauty."
