Club for five (Finland)
Since its formation in 2000, Club For Five has captivated audiences around the world, establishing itself as Finland’s most famous a cappella group. This phenomenal vocal ensemble has gained national and international acclaim, mesmerising listeners with its diverse repertoire spanning jazz, pop, rock, folk, and classical music.
Experience the magic of Club For Five for yourself — every performance is a celebration of vocal artistry and innovation!
Just vox (Belgium)
There are no instruments, just four voices and a beatboxer whose distinct styles come together to form a unique sound.
Their voices become guitars, basses, trumpets and keyboards. Their vocal cords become a veritable orchestra, offering a unique musical experience.
In July 2024, Just Vox won the “Audience Award” at the Graz International Festival in Austria.
This year, they won a golden buzzer on “France Got Talent“, propelling them straight to the semi-finals.
Rebel bit (Italy)
Rebel Bit is a team of innovative musicians united by the goal of creating a soundscape that combines vocal music and electronic experimentation. Their sound is characterised by the diverse influences that have shaped the artistic evolution of the group’s members (from classical music to modern and contemporary music), with a clear focus on experimentation and electronic innovation.
ENSEMBLE Ô (France)
The Ensemble Ô is a group of eight versatile singers brought together by Laetitia Corcelle, who has dual training in literature from the Sorbonne and in opera singing and chamber music from the Strasbourg Conservatory.
With its circumflex accent, ‘Ô’ is clearly a French word: this single letter alone evokes contemplation and wonder.
The ensemble’s musical foundation is built on a commitment to transmitting the French choral repertoire, particularly the works of Poulenc.
A BOCCA CHIUSA (France)
Bonded by their passion for a cappella vocal polyphony and the exacting standards demanded by this art form, the singers of the vocal quartet A Bocca Chiusa have been touring France since 2015. They attracted attention from their very first performances, notably at the FIMU festival in Belfort in 2016, where they won the Orange Foundation’s Coup de Cœur prize.
In June 2023, A Bocca Chiusa recorded their debut album.
EXEKO (Belgium - France)
Exeko is a six-strong a cappella vocal group who know each other inside out. They have sung together under the name Ego System and recorded the album “Tombés du Ciel”, which was awarded the Révélation Jazz Magazine prize.
Exeko covers the repertoire of the famous singer Bernard Lavilliers, reinventing his spicy groove with a radically different interpretation.
Les chanteuses Anonymes (Belgium)
Les Chanteuses Anonymes are the fruit of a sun-kissed grape variety and stand out for the floral colours that emanate from their music. Formed by the sparkling Anne, Lydie and Clara, this characterful trio vibrates as one, intoxicating your eardrums with their voices.
Those with a discerning ear will recognise the trio’s rich origins, which have been matured through exposure to opera, classical music and jazz, and enriched by rhythm and improvisation exercises.
This exceptional ensemble is best enjoyed with friends or family, whether in the convivial setting of a concert hall or beneath the apple trees.
This subtle vocal trio has only one credo: to make you vibrate without moderation!

EXEKO
Singing offers many benefits, including improved memory, learning, and concentration. It also fosters social connections, enabling individuals to bond more quickly, as noted by Jacques Launay, a psychology researcher at Oxford University.
Beyond its psychological effects, singing contributes to physical health by regulating blood pressure and strengthening the immune system.
With this in mind, the Bar’Envoix Festival offers mini-concerts for disabled individuals, allowing them to experience the joy and relaxation that singing can provide without the use of instruments.
Thus, singing is seen as an effective means of decompression that improves mood and combats sadness, creating a virtuous circle where good mental health positively influences physical health.
