Christmas From Home

We're so excited to announce our program for the Winter 2020-2021 Season! A continuation of Songs From Home, Christmas From Home is a fresh take on virtual choral programming. In a world stocked full of virtual choirs and concerts, we've decided to take a more interactive approach. This program includes digitally aleatoric settings of chants for the Christmas & Advent seasons, allowing listeners to create their own version of the piece each time they listen. Aside from this brand new format, we're featuring two world premieres in Christmas From Home!
Among these three chant melodies is a newly commissioned chant written by Maryland-based composer Christen Holmes. The final portion of the program includes the world premiere of the winning piece from our first-ever Composition Contest! ​Click below to hear now.

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. Buy your copy today, and if you like what you hear, become a patron and support our future projects!
