To celebrate
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in May 2012, British Council Vietnam with
support from Diageo Vietnam invited the all-female UK acapella group
Black Voices to Vietnam to perform for the first time. Black Voices is a
unique and truly outstanding quality acapella band who has entertained
Former President Nelson Mandela, The Late Pope and most of the members
of the British Royal Family. Black Voices appeared first in City Opera
House, Ho Chi Minh City on 20 May then at Hanoi Opera House on 21 May
2012.
Over their 24 years, Black Voices have steadily built up a
reputation of delivering stunning performances through their soulful
and inspirational harmonic blend. Their ever-growing repertoire includes
spirituals, traditional African, Caribbean and English folk songs,
jazz, Gospel, pop and reggae as well as a fusion of contemporary and
classical styles.
The group has worked with a mix of composers and
arrangers from the UK in extending the range and diversity of its
musicality, and extensively with the maestro Mark Kibble of Take 6 over
the last 5 years.
The Black Voices then delivered master classes
for vocal students and young artists at Vietnam National Academy of
Music on 22 May 2012. The artists share their own experiences and
also enjoyed Vietnamese melodies with Vietnamese colleagues
