Thursday 30th April 2015, 8pm, Cork City Hall: Rajaton
The Finnish word Rajaton translates as "boundless" – a word that so accurately
describes the way this six-voice a cappella ensemble approaches music. Regularly
performing around a hundred concerts and workshops each year, Rajaton exposes their
audiences to the kind of diversity of repertoire, singing style, and stage presentation
that has made them a phenomenon on the world stage. Ever seeking new artistic challenges, the group has grown
immeasurably through collaborations with other a cappella artists, including The King’s Singers and The Real Group, as
well as productions with film directors and choreographers. But it is perhaps their deep passion for choral art, their
generosity of spirit and their sheer enjoyment of singing that has won the hearts and acclaim of audiences and critics
everywhere. Their energy – infectious; their ability to entertain and inspire – Rajaton! The voice is boundless. Special
