Uangel Voice foundation, which has been discovering and supporting young talented classical musicians since 2007, is recruiting new members ahead of releasing a new album. The new members will have the opportunity to participate in the recording of the upcoming album.

The foundation has two groups, a male quintet, Uangel Voice, and a musical team, Uvoice. 

Uangel Voice is made up of three tenors, a baritone and a bass. The quintet has released three albums since 2008. With powerful yet sweet voices, the choir performs a selection of classical, contemporary, gospel and traditional Korean music. Current members have won many international and regional music competitions.

In early 2013, the group held a tour of France, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Australia at the invitation of the Korean embassies in the countries. They are scheduled to perform in Ibaraki, Japan from July to August.

Popular music composer Kim Hyung-suk, a leading player in the K-pop industry, is to collaborate on the new album to create a new form of classical music.

“I wish to be a ray of light to those talented young classical musicians by supporting them financially and providing them a space to show their talents,” said Pahk G-hyang, the chairman of the board of Uangel Voice.
