The Choice of the Audience Award was given to Vocation at the International Vocal Group Festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands in 2002.[1] Vocation shared the stage with Al Jarreau at the Pescara Jazz Festival in Italy in 2005,[2] and with Povel Ramel at the memorial concert for Monica Zetterlund in Stockholm the same year.[3] Vocation performed at the concert tribute of Povel Ramel in 2007, the group along with Mikael Ramel, Svante Thuresson, Stephan Lundin and Monica Dominique.[4]
