Musica Viva: Vokalensemble Amarcord

Wherever the vocal ensemble Amarcord performs, it is met with enthusiasm. Alongside the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the St. Thomas Boys Choir, the a cappella ensemble is one of the most important representatives of Leipzig as a city of music both at home and abroad. Amarcord - over a thousand concerts, tours in 50 countries on almost every continent, numerous CD productions and recordings for radio and television. They have wandered through musical styles, genres and times and have explored the countless secrets of the human voice. Whether Europe, America, Asia, Africa or Australia - the Leipzig vocal acrobats are not afraid of culture shock or polyglot confusion. The Ensemble Amarcord is an exceptional phenomenon among vocal ensembles; hardly any other ensemble has such a changeable yet characteristic sound as the five former St. Thomas Boys Choir members from Leipzig. This is evidenced not only by the numerous competition prizes, including two ECHO Klassik awards, and the many CD productions of the Saxons, but also by the countless invitations to concert tours worldwide. Unmistakable sound, breathtaking homogeneity, musical stylistic confidence and a good portion of charm and wit - trademarks of an ensemble that you should not miss.
