Nordic Voices is a six-voice professional Norwegian a cappella ensemble whose vast repertoire ranges from medieval to modern music. Since its formation in 1996, Nordic Voices has toured extensively in Norway and abroad, performing at major festivals and on prestigious series. One of Norway's best-loved ensembles, Nordic Voices has garnered considerable acclaim through frequent radio and television appearances. In 1996, the ensemble made its international debut in Edinburgh, Scotland in a concert with the renowned Ensemble Clément Janequin from France. Since then, the group has performed in South Africa, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Spain (where it won two first prizes at a vocal competition in Tolosa in 1999), Germany, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Canada and the United States of America.

  

Ciels
 

Paradise, or heaven, has been depicted in music throughout history. Nordic Voices explores the heavenly sphere by drawing on repertoire by Ciconia, Thoresen, Manchicourt, Ravel, Guerrero, and works by Scandinavian composers.   

  

Martin Luther is believed to have said: "If I am not allowed to laugh in Heaven, I don't want to go there," while Mark Twain uttered "if I am not allowed to smoke cigars in Heaven, I refuse to go there." All religions have an idea about a paradise, a better place to come to after an earthbound life. Ciels showcases this concept with a virtuoso program that spans eight centuries of music performed by one of the foremost a cappella ensembles of Europe. Don't miss this terrific opportunity to be part of an extraordinary musical journey!  

    

Watch for the special discount code arriving Tuesday morning!
