About
Paul Smith is one of the founding members of the Voces8 ensemble. Initially, it was just a group of friends who liked to get together to sing. Then they decided to take advantage of an all-expenses paid trip to Italy and entered the 2005 International Choral Grand Prix, where they won First Prize for the best jazz performance and the Audience Award. Since then, this double quartet has been making its mark all over the world in repertoire ranging from Renaissance polyphony to jazz, popular music and pop.
