Nordic Voices, an internationally acclaimed six-member a cappella group from Norway returns to Vancouver with an all new program of works. Coloured by humour and positive thinking, Everythings Gonna Be Alright brings together contemporary vocal works by György Ligeti, Goffredo Petrassi, Maja Ratkje and Lasse Thoresen. A highlight of the evening is Cecilie Ores new piece "Dead Pope on Trial", specially commissioned by San Franciscos Other Minds Festival for Nordic Voices.

"Such mesmerizing talent is rare. Whatever language, it was the groups astonishing range of sonic vocabulary that thrilled the senses and sent an emotional message no listener could miss." Washington Post
