VOICESCAPES is a professional music collective created in 2000 by two couples: Christina Jahn & Paul Grindlay, and Julie Harris & Jerald Fast.

Each singer brings a broad range of performing experience: from medieval ensembles to opera companies, from solo to choral work, spanning four continents. The ensemble's mandate is to create distinctive and varied concerts, which include VoiceScapes members in collaboration with other great Canadian musicians.

In addition to regular performances on the Early Music Voices Concert Series, VoiceScapes has been often featured on the University of Calgary Celebrity Series, the University of Alberta's Music at Convocation Hall Series, as well as with Alberta Baroque Ensemble and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.

Previous engagements include VoiceScapes as soloists in Purcell's King Arthur with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra under Ivars Taurins, a Christmas program of Bach and Charpentier with the Red Deer Symphony, and Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass and Durufle's Requiem with Spiritus Chamber Choir. Over the last two seasons VoiceScapes has mounted two critically acclaimed opera in concert productions: Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and Handel's Acis and Galatea.

Upcoming concerts include a collaboration with the Spiritus Chamber Choir and San Francisco's Whole Noyse in Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 and an appearance on the University of Calgary's Baroque Organ Series in a program of early German baroque masterpieces. VoiceScapes continues with its exploration of early opera in May 2011 on the Early Music Voices Concert Series presenting Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona. VoiceScapes of course returns with its well-loved annual Sing Along Messiah (Dec 19th, Knox United Church, Calgary).

To celebrate their 10th anniversary, VoiceScapes just released its second CD, Contemplations, which explores music by early German baroque masters.
