Vocaldente

Vocaldente
are an a cappella quintet from Hanover, Germany. Vocaldente were
founded in 2004 by five singers – Tobias “Tobek” Kiel (1st
tenor), Johannes “Johnny” Gruber (baritone / mouth percussion)
Niklas Turmann (2nd tenor), Ansgar Pfeiffer (countertenor), and Arndt
Schmöle (bass). The group primarily emerged from the Knabenchor
Hannover (Hanover Boys Choir) and the Hanover University of Music and
Drama. Their line-up has altered three times, in 2006, when Tobias
Pasternack, né Wunschik replaced Schmöle, in 2008, when Michael
Schöpe was recruited in place of the departing Turmann and in 2009
when Timo Klemm came in for Pfeiffer who retired. 2011 Christoph
Grasse joined as new Countertenor and Jakob Buch as 2nd Tenor.
Schmöle, Schöpe, Klemm and Turman left to pursue new musical
challenges.


The
ensemble began by building their support base locally and then began
to perform across Germany. By 2007, they were frequently undertaking
foreign tours, most notably to the United States and South East Asia,
where they’ve been continuously building up a loyal and enthused
following of fans ever since. In 2007 and 2008, they won first prizes
at several renowned international A cappella competitions such as the
Tampereen Sävel Contest for Vocal Ensembles in Finland and the
Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival in the U.S.
