In two concerts, Vox Luminis presents a selection of cantatas reflecting the rich tradition of 17th-century Baroque music – music that Johann Sebastian himself cherished.

The ensemble Vox Luminis, consisting of a very international cast of soloists, focuses on vocal music written between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Most of the group met at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The ensemble operates independently but also collaborates with instrumental groups such as Les Muffatti. Their CDs on the Ricercar label have been received with enthusiasm, including Schütz’ Musikalische Exequien, and English Royal Funeral Music, with works by Purcell and others. Vox Luminis was artist in residence during the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht of 2015.
