University of Evansville Welcomes Grammy-Nominated British Ensemble VOCES8 for Free Public Concert
Evansville, Ind. (02/05/2026) — The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to announce that the world-renowned British vocal ensemble VOCES8 will perform as part of the Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series. This special event will take place on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the historic St. Benedict Cathedral on Lincoln Avenue just a few blocks from the UE campus. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
Known as the world's top-streaming classical vocal group, VOCES8 has captivated global audiences with performances described by The Times as "flawless." Their repertoire spans five centuries, ranging from the sacred polyphony of the Renaissance to sophisticated contemporary pop and jazz arrangements. The ensemble earned a Grammy nomination in 2023 for The Lost Birds and is celebrated for a tonal clarity and "Rolls-Royce" precision that has made them staples at prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and the Vienna Konzerthaus.
The Patricia H. Snyder Series is made possible through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, a University of Evansville trustee and longtime friend of the institution. Established in 1997, the series brings speakers and performers of national and international renown to Evansville at no cost to the public.
By hosting VOCES8, the University continues this tradition, providing access to artists who exemplify the highest standards of musical excellence and global education. Through the VOCES8 Foundation, the ensemble reaches more than 40,000 people annually with its mission of "Music Education for All," closely aligning with the University's commitment to community enrichment. This performance is free and open to the public.
