Voces Nordicae

During the summer 2006, I photographed Lone Larsen and the vocal ensemble Voces Nordicae. They needed some pictures that captured their passion for music. I suggested black&white photographs made by traditional means and I was delighted to hear that the photographic material was included in the booklet of their new CD.
The vocal ensemble Voces Nordicae comes from the scenery of Swedish choral tradition. In 1999 the ensemble wasfounded by the Danish conductor Lone Larsen and it consists of 16 professional singers. The repertoire of Voces Nordicae is varied, including works from essentially all periods of music history, with special attentionto nordic, contemporary, experimental, improvisatory, "cross-over", and ethnic music. Open minded towards new timbres,Voces Nordicae combines a pleasant light blend with surprising and ventured sounds. Repertoire and programs are selectedwith great care, and encompass a wide span of musical and human expression. The interesting variation brings attention and curiosity to the audience.
