The hugely popular vocal ensemble VOCES8 performs a typically diverse programme called ‘Choral Dances’, after the dances from Britten's opera Gloriana. Renaissance composers such as Byrd and Weelkes (both of whom celebrate anniversaries this year) also feature, as well as popular classics by Nat King Cole, Irving Berlin and Jimmy Van Heusen.
