Viva Vox - The Choir Revolution
Viva Vox Choir is arguably the only choir in Serbia currently performing a cappella renditions of pop-rock music with beatbox. They are steadily building their reputation as representatives of a new pop-rock genre in choral singing. Their voice is their only instrument, they use it to reproduce all of the sounds that a band makes, including percussions imitated by beatboxing. Some of the songs they sing are originally performed by artists such as Queen, Toto, ABBA, Bangles, Rammstein, The Beatles, Era, Vampiri, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Bobby McFerrin…
Besides popular music, Viva Vox Choir performs a variety of musical styles. This is why their repertoire is quite vide and diverse, and includes works of classical composers such as “Lacrimosa” from the Requiem Mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “Air” by J. S. Bach, “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s Messiah, as well as works by renowned Serbian composers Stevan St. Mokranjac, Aleksandar Vujić, Vojislav Ilić…
For six years, Viva Vox Choir has been an independent, non-profit organization. During that period, They managed to define their style, to crossover to the popular, but stil manage to keep in touch with the classical music they all came from.
Lead by their conductor Jasmina Lovren, they do everything for their choir themselves: make song arrangements, organize their own concerts, design their own posters and invitations for them, manage their website…
This Choir’s mission is to foster the cultural tradition of the people residing in their region, notably in Zemun, Belgrade, Serbia, and to represent their town and country in the best way possible, as they already did in Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Poland…
