luminatus vocal ensemble
luminatus vocal ensemble is based in the east Midlands and performs newly discovered or edited Renaissance pieces and contemporary compositions, especially by female composers. The ensemble also performs other repertoire, reflecting the skills and flexibility of the singers involved. The group consists of between eight and sixteen singers, each of whom is able to sing solo parts to a professional standard. The singers work as ‘first amongst equals’, singing within the ensemble, or taking more extended solos as required. Performances sometimes include larger scale works, with a period orchestra.
