Vox Luminis

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 it does through the color and the uniformity of the voices.

"Is there a modern ‘early-music’ ensemble with quite so many rapt, ravishing and rhetorically convincing recordings of late?... Ecstatic listening."

Gramophone

"In this project Vox Luminis celebrates not just the Bach family, but the power of music-making itself."

BBC Music Magazine

"Fashions in early music performance come and go, but the Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis, directed by Lionel Meunier, has established itself as a new star of the scene. With its transparent, flexible, indeed luminous sound, it is rather different from English ensembles. Having memorably recorded the devotional motets of the Bach family, they now turn to Cantatas (Ricercar) by Heinrich, Johann Christoph and Johann Michael Bach, alongside JS Bach’s own chorale-based Christ lag in Todesbanden, and the result is another deeply musical triumph."

The Guardian

"... the refinement of Vox Luminis is never anything less than sublime."

Gramophone

"The quality of ensemble-work Vox Luminis (literally the voice of light) achieves inevitably draws the audience in, conjuring a kind of intimacy rare in music-making. This was not just a performance, but a collective experience in which the spirit at the heart of Bach’s music was being shared, a thrilling moment of illumination at the darkest time of the year."
