Emma Gage, Megan Walford, Natalie Tran, Owen Measday and Sam Timmerman form five-part vocal group, Raw Silk. The quintet of 20-25 year olds is looking to shake up the choral world with their own contemporary arrangements and fresh take on what vocal music can be. Raw Silk combines an impressive level of musicianship with a flair for performances that are entertaining, fun and, dare I say, sexy!

The Perth-based ensemble of WAAPA jazz alumni arranges and composes for all contemporary genres, from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” to Ed Sheeran’s “Lego House”. All singers are multi-instrumentalists, allowing Raw Silk to accompany themselves with an impressive range of instruments and vocal mimicry to match. Their collective creativity and theatricality in performance set them apart from other ‘one-note’ vocal ensembles.
