Lux Wins Two Wammies

In a year riddled with virtual performances and other compromises, we feel so fortunate to announce that we've won two Wammie Awards! The Wammie Awards is a 33-year-old award show aimed at recognizing DC, Maryland, and Virginia area artists and musicians for their artistic works and impact across our region. 

We've been honored with both Best Choral Album for My Lord Has Come, and Best Choral Group. We're so thankful for all of the singers, collaborators, recording engineers, donors, and volunteers who've played a role in our young history. We couldn't have done this without the support of all those in the Lux family!

Meet Our Team

We're so pleased to introduce the first members of our new Board of Directors! To continue our organizational growth and strengthen our dedication to our mission, we decided it was time to bring in some experts from across the nation.
​
Two of our three board members were able to join the Executive Committee's first meeting of the year in January, after which Artistic Director Robby Napoli said, "I'm so excited to be working with such incredible people who share our passions for accessibility, education, and inclusivity in choral music. Their experiences are going to bring a lot to the table; and we can't wait to get started."

New Album Out Now!

We're so excited to be releasing out fourth album, and third available in our shop, The Town Lay Hushed!​ Over the last five years, Lux has built our reputation performing contemporary and modern choral music. It’s a world of music that we as a group are incredibly passionate about and very much enjoy performing. The relationships we build and interactions we’ve had with living composers as we perform their music are second to none. With The Town Lay Hushed, though, we wanted to explore something new, which is to say, something old.
