Coenobium Vocale

**Coenobium Vocale** is an Italian vocal ensemble specializing in sacred music, particularly Renaissance and Baroque works with a focus on lesser-known composers. Led by conductor and musicologist Lorenzo Donati, the group brings scholarly precision and warm expressiveness to their performances. Based in Milan, they’ve carved a niche by reviving overlooked sacred compositions, often blending liturgical solemnity with the dramatic flair of operatic styles—a signature approach highlighted in albums like *Mercadante: Musica Sacra e Stile Operistico*.

Known for collaborations with labels like Tactus and Naxos, Coenobium Vocale merges historical research with vivid storytelling. Recent releases like *Confini* showcase their knack for balancing intimate devotional pieces with grander, theatrically charged works, making centuries-old sacred music feel fresh and emotionally resonant. Whether unearthing forgotten gems or reimagining familiar textures, they keep one foot in the archives and the other on the concert stage.
