Past event
St Andrews Voices: Distant Voices (Virtual Festival)
Exploring the power of the human voice, St Andrews Voices' 8th festival invites the audience to embark on a journey of discovery, albeit at a distance and to celebrate all that the human voice has to offer from the 16-17th October 2020.
Every October, we in St Andrews have welcomed singers from around the world to our historic town. They have performed for audiences and worked with our local communities, and in doing so have brought smiles to all of our faces. There has been a haunting caesura {musical term: total quiet, but not for long} across the country. We haven't been able to sing together in our community choirs, in places of worship, at school, or on stage. The world has been silenced. But not for long. We acknowledge the global pandemic, and our responsibility to take care of our musical family around us. Singing is part of St Andrews' DNA. That is why we will present “St Andrews Voices: Distant Voices” on World Singing Day, Saturday 17th October 2020 featuring The Sixteen, Iona Fyfe, Hannah Rarity, Jamie MacDougall and SK Shlomo to name but a few.
