Founded by the VOCES8 Foundation, Lyyra is dedicated to exploring the power and versatility of high voices. This six-voice vocal ensemble invites you to pause and step away from the noise of daily life. With a programme that pushes the boundaries of vocal expression, they bring together music from across the centuries.
From original works to new arrangements by American composers such as Kerry Marsh, Ellen Gilson Voth, Don MacDonald, Blake Morgan, and JVKE—each piece showcases the richness and flexibility of their sound. As the only professional six-part female a cappella group in the United States, Lyyra offers a refreshing and captivating new voice.
