About this concert
Vox Luminis' recording of Heinrich Schütz's Musikalische Exequien was a direct hit. The 2011 album received a Diapason d'Or and an International Classical Music Award, and was declared recording of the year by British music magazine Gramophone. Tonight the vocal ensemble will be revisiting this brilliant funeral music that Schütz composed for the funeral of Prince Heinrich von Reuss.

About the performers
The Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis, consisting of a very international cast of soloists, focuses on vocal music written between the 16th and 18th centuries. Most of the group met at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The ensemble operates independently but also collaborates with instrumental groups such as Les Muffatti. Their CDs on the Ricercar label have been received with enthusiasm, including Schütz’ Musikalische Exequien, and English Royal Funeral Music, with works by Purcell and others. Vox Luminis was artist in residence during the Utrecht Early Music Festival of 2015.
