Shall We Gather brings together two of the world's most distinctive vocal ensembles - Voces8 and the Swedish barbershop champions Ringmasters - in a vibrant and compelling collaboration that celebrates the shared human instinct to sing together. Recorded at The Voces8 Centre in London, the album blends the warmth and precision of the choral tradition with the unmistakable 'ring' and energy of barbershop harmony, creating a sound world that is both fresh and immediately engaging. Spanning centuries and styles, the programme moves effortlessly from Renaissance polyphony and Romantic choral works to folk song, contemporary composition, and iconic popular repertoire. Alongside music by Gabrieli, Rachmaninov, Praetorius and Whitacre sit imaginative arrangements of Loch Lomond, The Fool on the Hill, and I'll Be There, culminating in a thrilling version of The Bells of Notre Dame. At it's heart lies a simple but powerful idea: music as a communal act - an invitation to gather, listen, and connect. With exceptional vocal artistry and a palpable sense of joy in collaboration, Shall We Gather offers a unique meeting of styles and traditions, appealing equally to choral audiences and fans of contemporary a cappella
