An exciting spring ahead
Welcome back to a new year with Lunds Vokalensemble!
We have an exciting spring before us, with a multitude of fun concerts on the schedule. Firstly, a collaboration with Malmö Symfoniorkester and Petri Sångare. This time we will perform Lars-Erik Larsson’s belove choral masterpiece A god disguised.
But we are not satisfied by only that! On the a capella-programme for the spring is music with many parts (up to 16 parts), Frank Martin’s Mass and Richard Strauss Der Abend among others. You will be able to hear us sing this music in Ängelholm, Helsingborg and Lund. Check out our social media for more information on the concerts.
Another exciting project is Monica Dominique’s Missa Brevis, which part of the choir will perform together witht composer herself and soprano Margareta Bengtson as soloist. The concert will be perfomed twice on april 11th in Klosterkyrkan in Lund. It’s going to be a jazzy and cool experience!
The big tour of the spring will take us to our neighbour in the east, where we will perform at two choir festivals in Vaasa and in Lathis. We will be able to squeeze in a concert in Helsinki as well. Hyvvää Suomi!
We hope to see you at our concerts this spring and please follow us on Facebook or Instagram, where we announce our concerts, post pictures from behind the scenes and other fun stuff.
Thank you!
A big thank you to all who came to our concerts last weekend in Malmö and Osby, with the title The Darkness Is No Darkness. An extra big thank you to organist Anders Johnsson in St Andreas and our own Theodor Lontos who both played the organ so beautifully in Malmö and Osby, respectively. We are very happy about the apprecitation from the audiences and the kind words afterwards.
We are, however, not resting on our laurels, but we have thrown ourselves into the new music - Mozart’s Requiem, which we will perform on October 30 and 31 in Malmö Live, together with Malmö Symfoniorkester and Petri Sångare. Tickets are available on Malmö Symfoniorkester’s homepage.
Summertime!
It’s finally summer! The singers are enjoing their well earned vacation, but we are not quiet… April last year we recorded some music in Limhamns Church and we can finally share the results with you. We primarily recorded some newly written music for a documentary (Sweet Störy, about an American pastry chef who takes over a café in the Stockholm archipelago), but we also had the opportunity to record some traditional swedish songs along with some new music by Swedish composers. Keep a look-out in our social media as well as our YouTube-channel, where we will share some of the music during the summer. The songs will soon also appear on a streaming service of your choice.
We’ll meet again in the autumn when we will perform in S:t Andreas Church in Malmö, Osby Church and at Malmö Live, where we will perform Mozart’s Requiem. And the traditional Christmas concert of course.
Have a lovely summer!
Only Bach!
Right now we are working hard for the upcoming performance of Bach’s glorious mass i B-minor, together with Vox Mariae and musicians from Helsingborgs Symfoniorkester in St. Maria Kyrka in Helsingborg. It’s a lot of music to rehearse, including a range of fugues with rapid notes. Please come and listen to this masterpiece!
Merry Christmas from Lunds Vokalensemble
A big thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas concerts in Allhelgonakyrkan and Lundtofte Kirke in Lyngby. Without our audience we would be nothing! We will soon enjoy our well earned Christmas break, but we still have one more Monday rehearsal to go. Now we will start looking at David Conte’s Gloria which we will record in January. No rest for the wicked…
Merry Christmas to you all!
