A unique choral voice

LUCEAT is not simply another chamber choir. It is an ensemble built around exceptional professional voices, scholarly imagination, and a commitment to bringing rare and remarkable music to life with freshness, intelligence, and conviction.

Founded in 2017 by James Fellows, LUCEAT brings together singers of the highest calibre, many of whom perform with leading professional ensembles and hold positions in some of Britain’s finest collegiate and ecclesiastical music foundations. What makes LUCEAT unique, however, is not only the quality of its voices, but the clarity of its artistic vision.

At the heart of LUCEAT’s work is discovery: uncovering neglected repertoire, reimagining lost liturgical and ceremonial soundscapes, and presenting familiar music in ways that illuminate it afresh. The choir’s projects are shaped by rigorous research as well as musical instinct, allowing performances to combine historical depth with vivid immediacy. This is music-making that is both beautifully polished and intellectually alive.

LUCEAT has already earned critical acclaim through its recordings, broadcasts, and ambitious live performances. From Renaissance polyphony to large-scale reconstructions of historic rites and ceremonies, the choir has developed a reputation for programmes that are distinctive, moving, and memorable. Every project is driven by the same aim: not merely to perform, but to reveal.
