HEX Vocal Ensemble

Described by the L.A. Times as "a luminous ensemble of singers," HEX is an award-winning contemporary vocal sextet based in Los Angeles dedicated to performing new works that reimagine the expressive potential of the human voice. Our group features critically-acclaimed singers who have been featured soloists with LA Opera, LA Philharmonic, Long Beach Opera, The Los Angeles Master Chorale, and Industry Opera

​HEX has performed with Brightwork Newmusic, theatre dybbuk, and the Resonance Collective, and at venues such as BroadStage, Meng Concert Hall, Tuesdays@Monk Space, HEAR NOW Music Festival, Sound and Fury Concert Series, Master in the Chapel Series at First Lutheran Church in Venice, and N.E.O. Voice Festival. In 2022, HEX was nominated for the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice awards in four categories, including Favorite Choral Ensemble and Favorite New Music Performance, and received the award for "Best Orchestral Performance" for their premiere performance of Oratorio of the Earth.
