Although freely improvised, the music of Pocket Aces is consciously compositional, given to bouts of form, groove, and crafty melodies. Distillation of ideas with a premium on space and tone provides a strong coherence as the trio navigates the familiar and unfamiliar.

There’s a non-hierarchal notion of the ensemble in this project, an ideal of equality and a selfless determination built into every musical inclination, as they unabashedly swing at the intersection between the clarity and control of bop and the brash freedom of the avant-garde.

Their signature blend of vocal agility and captivating showmanship has thrilled generations of fans worldwide. As they embark on the next chapter of their story, these pioneers of the genre are once again reshaping the possibilities of vocal music to create immersive and exhil arating experiences for audiences. The group’s history is a remarkable tale of renewal. In 1963, American 'born Ward Swingle assembled a group of Parisian session singers to sing Bach’s keyboard music. The resulting album, Jazz Sebastian Bach, launched the Swingle Singers to fame. Over five decades the group has sustained a level of international popularity beyond its founder’s wildest dreams, with each new singer bringing something fresh to the Swingle sound. The seven extraordinary voices that make up t oday’s young, London 'based Swingle Singers are the inheritors of an unbroken lineage going back to 1963 and share the original group’s innovative spirit. Their repertoire spans pop, classical, folk, latin and jazz music – and, for the first time in many ye ars, powerful original songs. All are delivered with unflagging passion and precision, using the human voice alone.

Choir mem- bers hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading, and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, includ- ing pitch, and how to blend individual voices together into a unifi ed, beautiful sound. In recent years, the A Cappella Choir has become a standard of excellence in student singing in the State of Utah. Last fall, they sang Mozart’s Trinity Mass with the Utah Symphony and the Utah Symphony Chorus under the direction of Thierry Fischer. This renewed a tradition of collaboration between the choirs of the University of Utah and the Utah Symphony, and their outstanding performance resulted in invitations for return engagements in 2015. Utah Chamber Artists was established in 1991 by Barlow University of Utah Chamber Choir Bradford and James Lee Sorenson.
