The Arnstadt Connection

with Vox Luminis

The ten singers of Vox Luminis accompanied by baroque instruments give us a taste of the musical world that preceded the famous J.S. Bach. You will be treated to lesser-known music by many of his family members concluding with J.S. Bach’s moving Cantata #4.

Vox Luminis is a Belgian early music vocal ensemble created in 2004 by Artistic Director Lionel Meunier. The ensemble performs over 60 concerts a year, appearing on stages in Belgium, across Europe and around the world. Since its inception, the ensemble has been defined by its unique sound, appealing as much through the personality of each timbre as through the colour and uniformity of the voices. Vox Luminis has released 19 albums on the labels Alpha Classics, Ricercar, Ramée, and Musique en Wallonie. These recordings have enjoyed international critical acclaim and have won numerous prizes including the prestigious Gramophone Recording of the Year in 2012.

This event is co-produced by Early Music Voices and Calgary Pro-Musica.
