Calmus Ensemble

Lawrence Memorial Chapel

The Calmus Ensemble, founded by former members of the St. Thomas Boys Choir in Leipzig/Germany, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019. Raised in the tradition of the music by Bach, Mendelssohn and other great German composers who lived and worked in Leipzig, Calmus is now one of the world’s most renowned vocal ensembles. With about 1200 concerts in more than 30 countries these five singers are bringing their passion for vocal music alive. 

Being at home in all styles of classical vocal music, Calmus loves to go beyond boundaries in their programs which can be heard on more than 20 CDs and in lots of different collaborations with amarcord, the Lautten Compagney Berlin, the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, the Frankfurt Radio Big Band and others. Part of their work is devoted to encouraging the up-and-coming generation, so teaching, workshops and masterclasses are part of their regular schedule, both at home in Leipzig and on their travels around the world.
