On October 10, 2026, the Ensemble Vox Luminis presents Sacro Monteverdi, a concert dedicated to the sacred music of Claudio Monteverdi. Under the direction of Lionel Meunier, twelve singers and a small early-music ensemble breathe new life into the composer's motets and devotional pages.
The program highlights emotion and fervor, two guiding threads running through Monteverdi's output. The instrumentation comprises twelve voices, two violins, a violone, a theorbo, a harp, and an organ — enough to unfold a wide spectrum of timbres, from a cappella polyphony to instrumental passages in dialogue with the singing. The à Venise in the title evokes the musical melting pot in which these works took shape, between liturgical splendor and inner contemplation.
Practical details — gate opening time, exact duration, whether tickets will go on sale — are communicated by the organizer as the date approaches. Remember to check the event's official website a few days beforehand to confirm the schedule and access conditions. A baroque vocal concert typically lasts between 75 and 90 minutes, often without an intermission: dress comfortably and, if you would like to choose your seat under good conditions, arrive a little early.
