Adiemus Singers is a classical music group that has been captivating audiences with their unique sound and style for over two decades. The group was founded in 1995 by Welsh composer and conductor Karl Jenkins, who is known for his innovative approach to classical music. The name Adiemus comes from a word that Jenkins created, which he describes as "a wordless vocal sound that has no meaning, but is full of emotion and feeling." This concept is at the heart of the group's music, which is characterized by its use of choral vocals, world music influences, and a distinctive blend of classical and contemporary styles. The Adiemus Singers made their debut in 1995 with the release of their first album, also titled Adiemus. The album was an instant success, reaching the top of the classical music charts in the UK and earning critical acclaim for its innovative sound and style. The album featured the vocals of Miriam Stockley, who would go on to become a key member of the group. Over the years, the Adiemus Singers have released several more albums, each one showcasing their unique sound and style. Some of their most notable albums include Adiemus II: Cantata Mundi, Adiemus III: Dances of Time, and Adiemus IV: The Eternal Knot. These albums have earned the group a loyal following of fans around the world, and have cemented their reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting classical music groups of our time. In addition to their studio recordings, the Adiemus Singers have also performed live on numerous occasions, both in the UK and around the world. Some of their most notable performances include a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, a performance at the opening ceremony of the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, and a concert at the Sydney Opera House in Australia. The Adiemus Singers have also been recognized for their contributions to classical music with several awards and honors. In 1996, they were awarded the Classic FM People's Choice Award for Best Album, and in 1997 they won the International Classical Music Award for Best Choral Performance. They have also been nominated for several other awards, including the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album. Despite their success and acclaim, the Adiemus Singers remain committed to pushing the boundaries of classical music and exploring new sounds and styles. Their music continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world, and their legacy as one of the most innovative and exciting classical music groups of our time is secure.
