Grammy-nominated ensemble VOCES8 is pleased to announce the release of its new album, 'Nightfall,' on Decca Classics today ! This album introduces a collection of reflective and transcendent music inspired by the night. It features a mix of choral classics and contemporary arrangements, including new choral versions of popular works by Ludovico Einaudi, Sigur Rós, Koji Kondo, and Max Richter.

This exquisite collection of songs, celebrating a diverse range of composers from the worlds of film, game, alternative, and contemporary classical music, showcases VOCES8’s unique style and versatility. The recording also features world premiere works from British composer and 2024 Classic FM Rising Star Lucy Walker, as well as US composer and regular collaborator, Taylor Scott Davis, known for 'dreamy vocal lines'.

‘Nightfall’ opens and closes with contemplative psalm settings by South Korean composer Jaeil Jung, known for his work on Squid Game and Parasite.

The album follows the success of VOCES8’s previous collaborative album ‘Home’ with GRAMMY-winning composer Eric Whitacre and their own GRAMMY nomination in the Best Choral Performance category for their 2022 Decca Classics/Decca Gold recording of Christopher Tin's ‘The Lost Birds’ featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Acclaimed around the world for their skill, subtlety, panache and impressive range of musical styles, recent performances include European venues such as Wigmore Hall and Vienna Konzerthaus, three tours to the US and a return tour to Australia, including the Sydney Opera House.
