NEW SOUNDSCAPES

VOX Cape Town’s series of immersive performances, entitled ‘New Soundscapes’, is intended to expose the Mother City’s audiences to fresh choral sounds.

The first of these concerts featured music by two composers sharing the same name – John Tave(r)ner – while the second, Trust the Silences and its sequel Trust the Silences (Once More), comprised choral music written within the last three decades. Northern Lights: A Baltic Voyage took listeners on a musical journey of light and sound in its presentation of contemporary composers from Northern and Eastern Europe. Our fourth chapter, Eternal Echoes, took listeners on a musical odyssey through the rich sonorities and textures of Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and others – while the fifth, Timeless Whispers, returns us to our origins in the rugged landscapes of the South African Karoo.
