THE GROUP

Founded in 2003, the Scottish based A Cappella Vocal Quartet Vocal Fusion is already being hailed as one of the most exciting vocal ensembles in the UK.

Formed by four graduates of The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the quartet has a wide and impressive concert history including The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, The National Gallery of Scotland, The Royal Aboyne Festival, The Glasgow ‘Summerfest’ as well as workshops in London and charity concerts for The Leukaemia Research Fund and Sargent Cancer Care UK.

The quartet has developed a special reputation for distinctly personal performances, as well as encompassing a wide variety of repertoire to suit all occasions and has received international recognition thanks to the world-renowned Baritone Sir Thomas Allen, who now supports the group as ‘Honorary Patron’.

Vocal Fusion has also received royal support from HRH The Prince of Wales who invited them to perform exclusively for a VIP Arts event at Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh.

2006 has seen a continuation of the quartet’s wedding and corporate bookings, a busy concert schedule including an exclusive performance for JK Rowling at Stirling Castle for MSS Scotland and their ever-increasing festival and workshop invitations.

The quartet is also very committed to the continuation of their charity concerts which have to date raised over £2000.00. They will return to Chesterfield for another performance in aid of Leukaemia Research UK in March of next year.

Plans are now underway for their third disc in 2007 after the success of their second studio album which received critical acclaim. Recent engagements include The Brechin Arts Festival and The Paisley Choral Festival while future performances include: a Christmas Recital for Kilmardinny House Concert Series, a guest performance for Carers Scotland (Glasgow), a recital tour of the South-West of England and an invitation to tour Kenya next Summer.
