Join US women’s a cappella ensemble Lyyra for their long-anticipated UK debut. This new ensemble, the only professional six-voice women’s a cappella group in the US, was created by The VOCES8 Foundation to build support and visibility for upper voices, and they look set to reach a glittering place in choral music’s constellation.


‘Come listen in the silence of the moment before rain comes down’

Lyyra invites you to be present in the moment, away from the distractions of modern life. Exploring repertoire for upper voices and pushing the boundaries of vocal range, this programme presents music chosen by the women of Lyyra, spanning the centuries. It contains original works and arrangements from their home of the USA from composer/arrangers including Kerry Marsh, Ellen Gilson Voth, Don MacDonald, Blake Morgan and JVKE. The programme also features the world premiere of The Wild Geese, composed specially for Lyyra by English composer Francis Pott.

The group’s sound combines velvety richness alongside starlike brilliance, with a broad texture and exhilarating range of sound. The group’s members specialise in classical, jazz, pop, and folk music from diverse traditions and backgrounds.

Lyyra is Mary Ruth Miller, Anna Crumley, Elizabeth Tait, Ingrid Johnson, Aryssa Leigh Burrs, and Cecille Elliott.

This event will last approximately 80 minutes, without an interval.
