In our milestone 300th episode, I'm delighted to introduce the globally acclaimed Artistic Director of VOCES8, Barney Smith. I'm your host, Barney Smith, from storycomic.com, and today we delve into the remarkable journey of this renowned musical talent. Trained in Basel/Scholl and celebrated as a countertenor, conductor, and Artistic Director, Barney has left an indelible mark on the music world. His latest solo album, 'Bach', released in February 2023, is a testament to his multifaceted skillset. While known for his role with VOCES8, conducting orchestras and choirs worldwide, and teaching, Barney's lockdown experience ignited his solo career. 'Bach' brings together JS Bach's finest compositions for the alto voice, accompanied by a stellar ensemble of the UK's leading Baroque chamber musicians, under the guidance of Bojan Čičić. The album traces a thematic arc from Candlemas to the Resurrection, capturing the timeless beauty of Bach's compositions. Join us for an engaging discussion as we explore the world of music, artistry, and Barney Smith's inspiring journey.
