the show

In Autumn 2008 the Vocal Orchestra reforms for a UK tour of concert halls and arts venues.

With a new streamlined 8-piece lineup, the choir now features some of the UK’s top jazz and soul vocalists, including Natalie Williams (resident at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club), Vula Malinga (front-woman of Bassment Jaxx) alongside Shlomo, MC Zani, Bellatrix, Spitf’ya, jestar* and former Swingle Kineret Erez.

The show is led by Shlomo. He has a unique directing style, creating spontaneous 8-way improvisations, amazing beatboxing feats and jaw-dropping vocal renditions of classic tracks.

The show combines spine-tingling vocal harmonies with the heavier, almost inhuman bass sounds of these world class beatboxers. It’s a sound you won’t have heard before. It’s pioneering, entertaining and extreme fun!

In some cities the Vocal Orchestra will be running educational projects, working with young people from the area during the day and inviting them on stage for the concert’s climax in the evening.
