Testimonial

The choir is more confident, more powerful, more engaging than ever before … I would suggest the future for Ensemble Laude is very bright indeed.

An experience with Ensemble Laude is unforgettable. Perfect tonality, pitch… rich exotic harmonies… laden with the romance and mystery of a medieval monastery. This, with the embellishment of authentic instruments of the time played with precision and passion create a heady, intoxicating potion of sound. Small wonder they have been voted Monday Magazine’s ‘favourite vocal ensemble’ twice in a row!

Their concerts are so much more than a sequence of choral works – a smoothly integrated arts experience would be more accurate.

Your concert was superb–I enjoyed every minute of it!

People were amazed by the glorious singing all round, and she [Elizabeth MacIsaac] is decidedly the jewel in the diadem.

MacIsaac does wonders with her amateur singers… The instruments were often the garnish that made the performances so delicious… Some of the big ensemble pieces gave the impression of a medieval festival…

What a grand concert that was — and your programming was absolutely superb! Your entire style — all — was wonderful, relaxed, and it showed in the demeanor of the singers. Congratulations!

Ensemble Laude seem to have positioned themselves in a new league. From mediaeval to baroque to contemporary, they seem fearlessly at home.

… the best feeling last night was that of singing together with these loving, bright, committed people. Just feeling buoyed up and supported by them and then turning it back around, giving it all back…

They are all like one great, glittering instrument, and the conductor plucks the strings, weaving the sound around and through to make a glorious musical tapestry.
