Virginia Taylor Grabovsky will join Grammy-nominated vocal group VOCES8 starting in July 2026, and will be recording and touring with them internationally. She is a versatile soprano whose musical style ranges from choral and chamber repertoire to early music, opera, jazz, and pop. 

Virginia has performed with ensembles and festivals across the United States, including the Amherst Early Music Festival, Duke University Chapel Chorworks, and the Spoleto Festival USA. She has received university conservatory training in Vocal Performance and Music Theory and will continue her studies while based in the UK for her new role with VOCES8.

Prior to her VOCES8 engagement, Virginia studied voice with Nancy Maultsby and Sherezade Panthaki, and sang with the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s choral ensembles, where she strengthened her connection to sacred repertoire and refined her skills as a performer. She is a multi-instrumentalist; playing cello with the Greater Connecticut Youth Orchestra, as well as electric bass and vocals in the jazz ensemble. She is also an accomplished pianist, having earned top rankings in the National Guild system. Her earliest musical training was with the United Choir School’s Elm City Girls’ Choir in New Haven, Connecticut, where she developed a love of choral singing while building skills in disciplined ensemble musicianship, leadership, conducting, and music theory. During this time, she also served as a choral scholar at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Bridgeport and in Washington, Connecticut, experiences that helped establish the foundation for her enduring love of sacred choral repertoire.

Virginia continues to develop her work as a performer across a range of styles, with a particular focus on early and sacred repertoire. When she’s not making music, Virginia can usually be found exploring new places, getting happily lost in craft stores, or seeking out the perfect bowl of ramen.
