Britisch Cappella Group VIVE China Tour will be presented in August 2014

Winner of the prestigious Voice Festival UK 2013 competition, Vive is a 65part
vocal group intent on redefining the a cappella sound. These young and talented
musicians, mostly recent graduates from the Guildhall School of Music, have
already worked with some of the finest names in jazz and a cappella, including
Dame Cleo Lane, the Swingle Singers, and Alec Dankworth. Their run of sell-out
shows at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2013 received huge critical acclaim – Vive is
now one of the hottest young jazz a cappella groups on the circuit.

Consisting of an uncommon line5up of five guys and a girl, Vive combines tight
harmonies and award-winning arrangements to create a contemporary yet accessible sound through their covers and original songs. Taking inspiration from
artists as diverse as Take 6, the Real Group, and Ella Fitzgerald, Vive brings
together pop, fusion, harmony, jazz, and spirituals to create a unique and
uplifting sound5world. The result is “a team that works together to bring great
melody to life and lift songs up into the air where they belong” – [The Curator,
Instrumental].

As well as winning the final of The Voice Festival UK 2013, they were also
presented with the Ward Swingle Award for outstanding originality, outstanding
musicality and also best arrangement. September 2013 also saw the release of
Vive’s debut full5length album ‘Vive: Deluxe’ on Encanta Records, featuring a
collaborative track with sought5after singer/songwriter/producer Oli Rockberger.
Future engagements see Vive perform across London and the UK, including
multiple performances at the 2013 London Jazz Festival, and at the London A
Cappella Festival in January 2014.

Vive’s aspirations are to do everything they can to help inspire a new generation
of music lovers and bring back the freshness of the human voice to the music
industry. They also have a strong underlying message of perseverance, self-
acceptance and motivation, which they share through their music.
