Luminatus Ensemble

luminatus vocal ensemble is a highly acclaimed group based mainly in the East Midlands/East of England. In recent reviews they have been described as ‘spellbinding’ and a ‘choir of exceptional ability’. Their ‘rich and full’ sound is derived from the quality of its singers, who are all established soloists. They work as ‘first amongst equals’, singing within the ensemble, or taking more extended solos as required. The ensemble performs an eclectic range of repertoire, using a period instrument orchestra where required. Recent recordings have focused on newly discovered, or edited, Renaissance pieces. These discoveries are set alongside contemporary compositions, especially by female composers, highlighting links between what appear to be disparate styles.
