Introducing VOCES8's New Soprano

We are delighted to be able to introduce VOCES8’s new soprano, Virginia Taylor Grabovsky, who will join the group from July 2026.

Artistic Director of VOCES8 and The VOCES8 Foundation, Barnaby Smith, writes:

“It is always a particularly exciting moment for us to welcome a new voice into VOCES8, and we are absolutely delighted that Virginia will be joining the group. From the very first phrase she sang in her audition, we were immediately moved by the beauty, honesty, and innate musicianship of her singing. There is something unmistakably special in her sound, and a natural connection to the way we make music together.”

Eleonora will give her final performance with VOCES8 in Graz, Austria on 29 June, ahead of her farewell concert at the VOCES8 International Summer Festival at Milton Abbey on 28 July. Virginia will make her debut with the group in Québec, Canada, as part of the North America tour, before returning to the UK for appearances across the country. Both Eleonora and Virginia will appear at the VOCES8 International Summer School and Festival.

We hope you'll join us in welcoming Virginia into The VOCES8 Foundation family.
