Synergy Vocals

Synergy Vocals has been closely associated with the music of Steve Reich for almost 30 years. Specialising in close-microphone singing, the group has performed with ensembles and orchestras all over the world. Equally well-known for their performances of music by Luciano Berio, John Adams, Louis Andriessen and Steven Mackey, they have also collaborated with several dance companies.

World premieres include Reich’s ›Three Tales‹, ›Daniel Variations‹, ›Traveler’s Prayer‹ and ›Jacob’s Ladder‹, Steven Mackey’s ›Dreamhouse‹, Andriessen’s ›La Commedia‹, David Lang’s ›writing on water‹, Sir James MacMillan’s ›Since it was the day of Preparation…‹ and Guillaume Connesson’s ›Kaléidoscope‹, as well as the UK premiere of Nono’s Prometeo. Recently, the group featured in the UK premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina’s ›Revue Music for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Band‹ at the BBC Proms in London. Synergy Vocals also provided the chorus for Ravi Shankar’s opera ›Sukanya with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and for Satya Hinduja’s ›Harmony of the Worlds‹ project with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The group has recorded numerous commercial CDs of music by Steve Reich, John Adams, James MacMillan, Louis Andriessen, Luciano Berio and Steven Mackey. Synergy Vocals is also featured on Karl Jenkins’ ›Imagined Oceans‹, Rob Reed’s ›Sanctuary‹, These New Puritans’ ›Field of Reeds‹, Kompendium’s ›Beneath the Waves‹, and Steven Wilson’s ›Grace for Drowning‹, and can be heard on a variety of film soundtracks, adverts and TV signature tunes.
