This amazing and uniquely toned American formation celebrate their 40th anniversary, on the occasion of which they have put together a compilation of the finest and most popular pieces from their wide repertoire. In an astonishingly diverse and carefully compiled programme, we can enjoy Renaissance and Baroque works, spirituals, as well as compositions and arrangements by 20th-century American composers, including a good few written specifically at the request of the group. The uncrowned kings of a cappella have graced the Liszt Academy with their peerless productions on several occasions: this is another opportunity to marvel at what the human voice is capable of.
