**Calmus Ensemble** is a Leipzig-based a cappella quintet known for their polished harmonies and genre-blending creativity. Founded in 1999 by singers from the famed St. Thomas Choir (where Bach once worked!), the group mixes Renaissance polyphony, contemporary works, and playful reimaginings of classics—all delivered with crisp precision and warm charisma. Their recent releases, like *Rethinking the Well-Tempered Clavier* and *Bruckner Vocal*, showcase their knack for breathing fresh life into traditional repertoire, while holiday-themed tracks (*Christmas Lights*, *Angels' Song*) highlight their cozy, luminous sound.
Winners of multiple awards (including ECHO Klassik prizes), Calmus balances reverence with innovation—whether they’re layering medieval hymns over Bach preludes or slipping jazz-inflected twists into sacred works. Their seamless blend of voices and knack for storytelling through music make them a standout in the choral scene, appealing to both classical purists and listeners craving something unexpected.
