Posted October 19, 2022 Print

GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College will host Vox Luminis, a Belgian early music vocal ensemble created in 2004, as a part of the Con Spirito Chamber Concert Series at 7 p.m. November 1, 2022, in the David Johnson Memorial Chapel.

The ensemble Vox Luminis, led by Lionel Meunier, specializes in English, Italian and German repertoire from the 17th and early 18th century and is internationally acclaimed for its unique sound. A core of vocal soloists is supplemented, depending on the repertoire, with an extensive continuo, solo instruments or a complete orchestra. Vox Luminis gives around 70 concerts at major concert halls and festivals worldwide each year, including Wigmore Hall London, Philharmonie Berlin, Lincoln Center New York, Zaryadye Hall Moscow, and Boston Early Music Festival. The ensemble is artist in residence at Concertgebouw Brugge.

Listen to a performance of Vox Luminis.

In 2007, the tradition of musical excellence started when LaVonne H’16 and the late Glen R. Johnson H’88, in honor of their late daughter, created the series to bring top musical talent to Thiel College and the region. Con Spirito is just one of the offerings at Thiel that connects the college to the regional arts community.

The Con Spirito Concert is free and open to the public.
