We are thrilled to announce that Savannah Porter will be joining VOCES8 as Andrea’s successor. Savannah will officially make her debut in September 2025, sharing the role with Andrea from that point until the end of the year.
During Savannah’s recent visit to London, we had the pleasure of filming a performance of Ola Gjeilo’s ‘Northern Lights’, which you can watch on YouTube.
As we prepare to bid farewell to Andrea after 17 extraordinary years, we are currently planning concerts and events to celebrate her immense contribution to VOCES8.
In the meantime, please join us in giving Savannah the warmest of welcomes to the VOCES8 family. We know you’ll enjoy her stunning artistry, and we encourage you to hear her sing in the video linked below. Savannah shared these heartfelt words about joining the ensemble:
“I have been a fan of VOCES8 for as long as I can remember, and as an American soprano, I never imagined that this dream could become a reality.
To say I am honored doesn’t even begin to capture what I feel about stepping into this remarkable ensemble. Andrea has been a profound inspiration to me with her stunning voice and incredible artistry over the years, and I am deeply grateful to be entrusted with continuing the legacy she has built.
I am endlessly excited for all the high notes to come and for the adventure of learning what on earth ‘crotchet’ and ‘quaver’ actually mean!”
