Vocalocity (abbreviated VCT, Hebrew: ווֹקָאלוֹסִיטִי) is a 40-voice contemporary a cappella ensemble founded in 2013, centered in Hod HaSharon, Israel.
Under the musical direction of Kevin Fox.[1] (The Swingles) and the baton of house conductor Erez Tal, Vocalocity performs original arrangements of a range of cutting-edge rock/pop/jazz music, both Israeli and International. The singers all come from a background in contemporary a cappella. Vocalocity holds concerts in Israel and abroad.
Vocalocity is regularly coached by conductors of modern a cappella in Europe, including Line Groth Riis[2], Merel Martens[3], Peder Karlsson[4] (founding member of The Real Group) and numerous others.
Vocalocity operates under the auspices of MILA, the Israeli Center for Choirs and Choral Groups.
