Voquality was formed  in 2014, by Ken Burton,  the award-winning choral conductor, composer, TV personality,  music educator and broadcaster. and covers the following areas: 

 

Film/Recording Session Choir - for broadcast (TV/Radio), films, commercial recordings, and commercials.  Most clients call Ken Burton and the Voquality Singers for projects requiring a sound which combines traditional Classical choral with music from the African diaspora - be it pure African music, or its "offspring" - such as soul/Jazz/gospel. Ken's musical experience, training, and large portfolio of activities in both the choral and orchestral world as a conductor, composer, arranger, and producer, gives him a strong and quick understanding of requirements.

The Name and Logo

The name is a portmanteau of "vocal quality", which is what we aspire to deliver,  a principle we apply to our work.

It also indicates one of the philosophies of the company which is to help to raise standards by offering opportunities to talented singers who have just graduated from conservatoire, or university, to get experience, obviously being booked under the same conditions and expectations as everyone else in terms of fees, and expected professionalism.

The logo - a V - is shaped like a wave - representing sound waves, as well as the wave like movements of vocal folds; the right hand side is like the arch of an auditorium; the texture also looks like paper - representing a scroll (music manuscript); the rather 'flexible' looking texture represents the freedom and flexibility the ensemble brings.
