Jacob Collier has just been announced as the headliner for the festival’s Gala Concert. Regarding his participation in HarbourVOICES!, Jacob says, “For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep, spiritual fascination with the human voice. To lend mine to an event that brings together such a spectrum of collective singing groups from all over the world is a total dream for me. I cannot wait to perform and exchange energies with such a diversity of voices on this unprecedented scale.” Attend HarbourVOICES! to experience the World Youth Choir, Jacob Collier, and many other collective singing traditions.
