A Chorus of Voices:
The Luminous Journey
Humble beginnings
At Luminous Voices, our journey began in 2012 under the passionate direction of Dr. Timothy Shantz. What started as a single choir has blossomed into a rich community of singers from Calgary, Rosebud, Stettler, Edmonton, and beyond—stretching as far as Vancouver, New York City, and Boston. United by a shared love of choral music, we strive to create performances that engage, uplift, and connect us with our audiences.
Bringing Choral Music to Life
As Calgary’s professional chamber choir, we present three to four signature programs each season, with performances that echo across various cities. Notable milestones include reaching over 1,000 attendees at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music in Edmonton and captivating audiences at the Rolston Recital Hall in Banff. Over the years, our singers have graced stages in Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Banff, and Edmonton, enriching our cultural landscape with each performance.
Our phenomenal ensemble
Our ensemble is made up of gifted individuals, including choral conductors and dedicated educators, many with advanced degrees in music. This diverse talent allows us to explore choral compositions that resonate across cultures and time. We firmly believe that choral music has the power to transform communities, fostering emotional connections and shared experiences. Our collaboration with the RBC Foundation has empowered us to showcase over 100 youth performances, making music accessible to the next generation.
Driven by our commitment to excellence, Luminous Voices continues to engage audiences through live performances, recordings, workshops, and new commissions. As we look to the future, we eagerly anticipate new recordings and opportunities to illuminate the beauty of choral music, inviting you to be part of our shared story.
