The Eric Whitacre Singers are the finest vocal ensemble I have heard, ever.

Which is not at all surprising, in that key members appear to be on loan from The Sixteen and Stile Antico.
I think that your comparison to Celtic Woman indicates you don't know much about today's vocal music scene. Perhaps you should buy the latest issue of LISTEN magazine. Whitacre, btw, is Composer in Residence at Cambridge University.
And I never suggested YouTube "play-alongs" for orchestras. This must be the week for creative misquotation of John Marks.
There is a concert video--55 minutes--of the Eric Whitacre Singers up on YouTube, link attached.
I hope you enjoy it.
