Since its founding in 2004, Vox Luminis, led by bass singer Lionel Meunier, has earned international acclaim for its distinctive sound, both in intimate productions with soloists and in its largest and most ambitious projects.

The ensemble specialises in English, Italian and German music of the 17th and early 18th centuries, but feels equally at home in the Renaissance and the Classical period.

With some 70 concerts a year and numerous recordings, Vox Luminis brings great masterpieces to life and introduces audiences to hidden gems that have long remained undiscovered. At its heart is a group of soloists, joined by continuo and instrumentalists, which can grow into its own orchestra and up to 40 voices as Vox Luminis XL.

Its mission is to bring vocal music to a wider audience, with excellence as the driving force. Concerts, recordings, workshops with audiences in many countries and a meticulous way of working all contribute to that goal.

Vox Luminis has twice won a Gramophone Award: in 2012 for Schütz’s Musikalische Exequien (Baroque Vocal and Recording of the Year), and in 2019 for Buxtehude’s Abendmusiken (Choral).

The ensemble was also named Ensemble of the Year 2018 at the Klara Awards in Belgium and won the BBC Music Magazine Choral Award in 2018, as well as three Diapasons d’Or and several Preise der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.

Vox Luminis performs in the world’s leading concert halls, including Bozar in Brussels, deSingel in Antwerp, the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Real in Madrid, L’Auditori and the Palau de la Música in Barcelona, the Salle Gaveau and the Auditorium de Radio France in Paris, Wigmore Hall in London, the Philharmonie in Berlin and Cologne, the Laeiszhalle and Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Konzerthaus Dortmund, Lincoln Center in New York, Jordan Hall in Boston and Zaryadye Hall in Moscow. It is also a regular guest at festivals such as the Festival van Vlaanderen, the Festivals de Wallonie, the Festival de Saintes, Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Musikfest Bremen, Bachfest Leipzig, Klangvokal Dortmund, the Salzburg Festival, the Aldeburgh Festival and the Boston Early Music Festival.

The 2026–2027 season brings new collaborations. Vox Luminis XL joins forces with the renowned chamber orchestra Camerata Salzburg for the first time, touring masterpieces by Mozart and Haydn. The ensemble also makes its Australian debut, joining the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Richard Tognetti for a two-week tour of Bach’s St John Passion.

2027 opens with an international tour of Dido and Aeneas, as Vox Luminis delves further into the music of Henry Purcell.

This season also sees the release of a new album, Roland de Lassus: Requiem (Ricercar), which has already been warmly received by the press.

Over the years, Vox Luminis has built a close and lasting partnership with the Freiburger Barockorchester and the Freiburger BarockConsort, with whom it collaborates on several projects each year. In 2027, this partnership celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Vox Luminis is artist-in-residence at Concertgebouw Brugge and the Abbaye Musicale de Malonne (Namur).

The ensemble is supported by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (FWB), Wallonia-Brussels International (WBI) and the City of Namur.
