About the event

Living Tradition is more than a concert—it’s a dialogue across time. By pairing ancient and modern voices, Octo Voces reveals how sacred music continues to evolve while remaining rooted in shared human longing and devotion. 

 

Octo Voces is an eight-part a cappella group with a diverse repertoire. Their performances showcase rich harmonies and textures in contemporary music written for eight voices. 

The group sings a mix of ecclesiastical, gospel, jazz, and popular music, requiring great skill from its members. They have performed arrangements from The King’s Singers, The Swingle Singers, Voces8, as well as works by local composers. 

Ensemble Members: 

Soprano: Debbie Bideau (1st) & Sally Henderson (2nd)

Alto: Rob Harnish (1st), Erik Sharman (2nd & Conductor)

Tenor: Jonathan Morris (1st), Ian Burnett (2nd), & Julian Lane

Bass: Mac Armstrong (1st) & Tim Feak (2nd)
