SLIXS is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable vocal ensembles performing today. Formed in Germany, the group has built its reputation on musical imagination, technical brilliance, and an approach to vocal performance that constantly challenges the boundaries of what the human voice can achieve. Their distinctive formation, featuring one female singer and five male singers, creates a sonic landscape that feels both orchestral and intimate. Every performance reveals an extraordinary control of color, rhythm, and texture, shaped by intricate arrangements and a refined sense of ensemble unity.
The ensemble has gained international acclaim for its innovative musical language, which draws inspiration from jazz, world music, classical tradition, and contemporary vocal art. This wide stylistic range has brought them a series of prestigious international awards. Among these honors are the 2008 award for Best Jazz Song, the 2013 award for Best Folk and World Music Song, and significant recognition in the classical category with Best Classical Song in 2019 and 2023. Their artistic achievements were further acknowledged in 2023 when they received the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award for Classical Album of the Year. Each award reflects their commitment to reinventing vocal performance while maintaining a level of precision that few ensembles can match.
SLIXS also has a powerful presence online. A single video from the group has garnered close to two million views, creating a wave of renewed enthusiasm for a cappella music. Listeners respond to the ensemble’s fearless creativity, as well as their ability to reshape well-known musical styles into something wholly original. Their digital success has introduced them to a global community of fans who admire the ensemble’s technical virtuosity and emotional clarity.
In 2025, SLIXS toured six major Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Xiamen. These concerts demonstrated the group’s expressive sensitivity and extraordinary vocal control. Reviews praised their subtle phrasing, impeccable balance, and the way their arrangements transformed familiar melodies into new artistic experiences. For many audience members, the performances offered a rare chance to encounter vocal artistry at its most inventive.
SLIXS will return to China in 2026 with a concert program that highlights the ensemble’s signature blend of innovation, precision, and expressive depth. Their performances promise an unforgettable encounter with the limitless potential of the human voice.
