Ensemble Vocal Euterpe Lausanne is a Swiss classical music ensemble that specializes in choral music. The ensemble was founded in 1978 by a group of music students at the Lausanne Conservatory, who were passionate about singing and wanted to create a platform for themselves to perform and share their love of music with others. The founding members of the ensemble were all students of the renowned Swiss conductor Michel Corboz, who was also the founder and director of the Ensemble Vocal de Lausanne. Corboz was a major influence on the young singers, and his approach to choral music, which emphasized clarity, precision, and expressiveness, became a guiding principle for the ensemble. Over the years, the ensemble has grown in size and reputation, and has become one of the leading choral ensembles in Switzerland. The ensemble's repertoire is diverse, ranging from early music to contemporary works, and includes both sacred and secular music. The ensemble's main members are all experienced singers who have studied music at the highest level. They are committed to the ensemble's mission of promoting choral music and bringing it to a wider audience. The ensemble is led by a team of conductors, who work together to create a cohesive and dynamic sound. One of the highlights of the ensemble's history was its performance of Bach's Mass in B Minor in 1998, which was conducted by Michel Corboz. The performance was a major success, and was praised for its clarity, precision, and emotional depth. The ensemble has also performed works by other major composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Stravinsky. In addition to its performances, the ensemble has also won several awards and accolades over the years. In 2002, the ensemble won the first prize at the International Choral Competition in Tolosa, Spain, which was a major achievement for the ensemble. The ensemble has also been invited to perform at major festivals and events, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Lucerne Festival. Despite its success, the ensemble remains committed to its original mission of promoting choral music and bringing it to a wider audience. The ensemble regularly performs in churches, concert halls, and other venues throughout Switzerland, and also collaborates with other musicians and ensembles to create new and innovative works. Ensemble Vocal Euterpe Lausanne is a testament to the power of music to bring people together and create something beautiful. Its members are dedicated to their craft, and their passion and commitment are evident in every performance. The ensemble's legacy is one of excellence, innovation, and a deep love of music.
