About Luminatus Vocal Ensemble

Luminatus Vocal Ensemble is a highly acclaimed, professional group of singers based primarily in the East Midlands and East of England.

Our reputation for musical excellence is reflected in recent reviews, where critics have hailed us as 'spellbinding' and a 'choir of exceptional ability.' Our signature 'rich and full' sound is derived from the exceptional quality of our members:

Every singer is an established soloist in their own right.
We operate on a 'first amongst equals' principle, ensuring a consistently high vocal standard.

We bridge centuries by performing the beauty of Renaissance pieces alongside other music, including the powerful, resonant voices of contemporary women composers.
