Text from "Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy with additional verses by Patti Drennan. Recorded live on May 3, 2015, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, and sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems.  less

A choral piece composed by an 18-year old Slovenian talent Matej Kastelic (one of the Singers as well). Not too perfect, but still nice performance by his Conservatoire collegues.

The Choir promotes European and Croatian musical heritage giving concerts both home and outside Zagreb, but also enjoys performing classical music to the audience that does not tend to go to cultural events. Since 2007, the Choir has been conducted by Ms. Elena Konovalova. Under her guidance, the Choir won first place at Zagreb Singing Choirs Competition 2012, in Vocal Ensembles category. CONTACT US The Laudate Renaissance Ensemble enjoys performing renaissance music at Renaissance fairs and history events, in museums, castles or churches. If you require a group of Singers to entertain and impress the audience by giving them costumed performance, you can hire us to sing some fine frottolas and madrigals.  less

These are strange, hard times: we must #stayathome for our own health, to protect other people and to fight a virus called Covid-19. But Music doesn't stop and the Vox Canora Singers, even though physically distant, want to try to "Fix You" with this video where you'll find the typical Vox Canora moments of irony.

The Choir consists of about 60 female and male Singers. Many of the members are active and former students of the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover, but other professions are represented as well, and all Singers are united in their wide choral experience and their joy in singing challenging works together. The performance of a wide range of a cappella works, some of them quite unknown, forms an important emphasis of the Choir. In addition to sacred and secular a cappella music of the 15th century until today, the Choir performs cantatas, masses, oratorios, and passions. Many compositions were broadcast for radio stations or published on CD. The Choir has recorded ten CDs and performed several world premieres of contemporary compositions, e.g. by Büsing, Dinescu, Fuchs and Wangenheim. In 2010 the Choir received the ECHO KLASSIK award for the CD "Glaubenslieder", the hi...    less
