Theatre of Voices
THEATRE OF VOICES was founded in London in 1990 by Paul Hillier and shortly afterwards gave its first concert in Berlin with new works by Arvo Pärt, including his Berliner Messe. The ensemble's second concert, with music by John Cage, was at the Almeida Festival in London. After a number of years in which Theatre of Voices followed Paul Hillier's university appointments in the San Francisco area and performed all over North America, Hillier moved back to Europe in 2003, and Theatre of Voices has since been based in Copenhagen.
Theatre of Voices is considered one of the world's leading vocal ensembles and focuses mainly on new music, but often interwoven with all kinds of early music, reflecting Hillier's lifelong fondness for precisely these two ends of the musical spectrum. This has led to close collaborations with numerous composers and instrumental ensembles: Arvo Pärt, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, John Cage, Kronos Quartet, Ingram Marshall, John Adams, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, London Sinfonietta, Michala Petri, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Fretwork, Phantasm, Concerto Copenhagen, Kaija Saariaho, Peter Sellars, David Lang, Michael Gordon, Pablo Ortiz, Heiner Goebbels, Smith Quartet, Meta4 String Quartet; and in the near future Helena Tulve, Sunleif Rasmussen, John Luther Adams, and many more.
