Vox Luminis live in Mondoñedo

Experience Vox Luminis live on August 5th

Vox Luminis, a Belgian vocal ensemble renowned for its historically informed performance practice, will perform at the Catedral de Mondoñedo in Mondoñedo, Spain on August 5th, 2026. The ensemble specializes in Renaissance and Baroque polyphony, characterized by clear vocal lines, refined intonation, and a focus on recreating the sound world of earlier musical eras. They frequently perform *a cappella* or with minimal instrumental accompaniment, prioritizing textual clarity and expressive phrasing. Vox Luminis has gained international acclaim for its interpretations of composers such as Josquin des Prez, Palestrina, and Schütz.

The Catedral de Mondoñedo is a significant example of Galician Gothic architecture. Construction began in the 13th century, continuing through the 16th with substantial Baroque alterations. Originally built on the site of a Visigothic church and later a Mozarabic monastery, it replaced an earlier Romanesque cathedral destroyed by fire. The current structure features a striking façade with two towers and notable interior elements including elaborate choir stalls carved in the 17th century and a Renaissance altarpiece.
