The Vocal Orchestra is a dynamic group of young performers, using extreme vocal technique and beat-boxing to present a spectacular soundtrack. They are currently performing at the Udderbelly on the Southbank, sharing their energy and enthusiasm with the amazed audiences.

The hour long show is a triumph. The group are pitch perfect and secure and confident in all the complex harmonies and percussive cross rhythms. The show comprises renditions of well known tunes, from different genres and different ages (ranging from 18th century string quartets to up to date hip hop numbers), even including a jaw-dropping war soundtrack. All is arranged and created by the talented and internationally renowned Shlomo.

Seven vocalists (Claudia Georgette, Billy Boothroyd, Robin Bailey, Harriet Syndercombe Court, Johannah Jolson, Grace Savage and Ross Green) provide different elements and demonstrate different skills. No-one can deny each and every singer is hugely talented and musical, but it is their charm and confidence that really makes the show work. Grace Savage is particularly impressive as the booming bassline, and Claudia Georgette has a stunningly soothing soprano voice singing the melody for some of the jazzier numbers.

Surely these seven singers are the hippest crew in London… not only can they beatbox and perform any song without a backing track but they look super cool while doing it. I want to be in their gang.
