Vox Clamantis
The early music ensemble Vox Clamantis was created in 1996 and unites musicians and singers active in a variety of musical spheres - singers, composers, instrumentalists and conductors - all of who share a keen interest in Gregorian chant. This chant - the musical tradition thought to constitute the foundations of European professional music - they often perform in its most natural environment of liturgic service. Still, the group has also given numerous concerts both in Estonia and abroad (Finland, Norway, France, Belgium, Lebanon and Portugal). Vox Clamantis deserves special mention for their collaboration with the Choeur Grégorien de Paris, which has borne the fruit of joint concerts in Europe as well as Morocco. The group has also performed with a number of world-renowned organists such as Jean Boyer, Werner Jacob, Jon Laukvik, Peter van Dijk, Gabriel Marghieri and others. Vox Clamantis has given concerts with the Hortus Musicus ensemble (Director Andres Mustonen), the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallinn Chamber Music Orchestra (Director Tõnu Kaljuste). The ensemble have recorded several CDs.
