On November 22, 2026, the internationally acclaimed early-music ensemble Vox Luminis takes the stage at Église Saint-Léon-de-Westmount for a performance of Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers (1610), presented as part of Festival Bach 2026.
Published in Venice in 1610, Monteverdi's Vespers stands as one of the great monuments of Western vocal music, blending Renaissance polyphony with early Baroque expressivity across a vast and demanding programme for voices and instruments.
Vox Luminis, directed by Lionel Meunier, is celebrated worldwide as a leading authority on early vocal repertoire. The ensemble is bringing the complete work to Westmount — a rare opportunity to hear this epic composition performed in its entirety by one of the most respected Baroque ensembles on the international scene.
