They were …impeccable in balance and blend, the five voices like a fivestringed instrument, identical in all but range. (The Irish Times) Exquisite, a musically dazzling union of intelligent emotion, glittering esprit and supple elegance... (Schwäbische Zeitung)

Founded in 1992 by former members of the St. Thomas Boys Choir in Leipzig
(Bach’s church), amarcord has become one of the world’s leading vocal
ensembles, and was recognized in 2002 with the prize for the German Music
Competition for Chamber Music. amarcord’s hallmarks include a unique tone,
breathtaking homogeneity, musical authenticity, and a good dose of charm and
humor. amarcord performs a highly diverse repertoire of music, from medieval
plainsong to madrigals and Renaissance masses, to compositions and cycles
of works of the European Romantic period and the 20th century. Their program
for us is drawn from sheet music from the St. Thomas Boys Choir library, and
will include repertoire from chant through Lassus and Walter to Stefanini and
Heinrich Schütz.Join Our E-Mailing List – Receive Concert Announcements & Reminders |
