Vox Luminis

Show & Culture

Twenty-one voices, 823 columns, no instruments. In sixteenth-century Spain, Cristóbal de Morales was THE musical reference and his funeral compositions were acclaimed across Europe for generations. There is no need to know this context to be moved when 21 singers transform the Foyer of the Philharmonie with their voices alone. Vox Luminis performs Morales' Officium defunctorum and Missa pro defunctis, music composed to honor the departed but which, in its beauty, fills the listener with a fierce zest for life.
