Jacob Collier su Take 6

On July 11, three different yet closely resonating musical worlds will come together for a special occasion: British phenomenon Jacob Collier, the legendary vocal sextet Take 6, and an orchestra assembled especially for this evening. The program will be conducted by a guest from the United Kingdom—conductor and violinist Suzie Collier, the first shaper of Jacob Collier’s musical world.

In contemporary music, Collier’s name represents original thinking, multilayered sound, and a rare ability to connect different traditions. First gaining global attention as a teenager, the artist is now a seven-time Grammy winner, creating an organic musical language in which jazz harmonies, choral polyphony, pop melody, an R&B sensibility, and classical precision function as a unified whole. In live performances, Collier captivates audiences with his energy and improvisational freedom—concerts where the audience naturally becomes part of the creative process, and his playful stage presence highlights the emotional pulse of the music.

Joining this evening will also be Take 6, one of the most influential vocal ensembles in the world, which has shaped the modern traditions of a cappella, gospel, and jazz vocals. Their precise, richly layered sound has inspired generations of performers and earned international recognition along with numerous awards, including several Grammys. Take 6 was an early source of inspiration for Collier—the impressions from concerts he attended as a child eventually grew into a creative dialogue that today is mutual and alive.

The orchestra assembled especially for this evening will add yet another dimension to the program. It will be conducted by Suzie Collier—a British conductor, violinist, and honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music. Jacob Collier has often said that it was she who taught him to think polyphonically, to listen to choral music, to recognize the colors of harmony, and to trust his creative intuition. The meeting of mother and son on stage is a rare and musically exceptional occasion.

The concert promises an evening where different generations and musical worlds will meet, and where Vilnius will become the place where this musical language sounds with a single voice.
