​

ABOUT VOX LUMIERE

 

Vox Lumiere transforms iconic silent films into explosive live experiences with original music and powerhouse vocals. It’s a rock concert, theatrical event, and cinematic journey rolled into one. The sound is an eclectic mix of original rock, pop and classic Hollywood film scoring for music geeks, film lovers, comic book and fantasy fans and… anyone who likes a little heavy metal served up with their classical music.

​

Vox Lumiere has eight productions, and for more than 20 years has toured internationally, been featured on Celebrity Cruise Lines, been seen on a Nationally Televised PBS Special in the US, won 14 awards, and received excellent critical and audience reviews.

​

ABOUT THE MUSIC

 

The ensemble consists of 8 performers – drums, bass, guitar, violin, two male and two female singers. The music is synced perfectly to each film, and each show is like performing a live film scoring session.  The scores are tricky, and include multiple key changes, time signatures and tempo changes, sometimes happening all at once (!). It’s fun, challenging and requires a high level of musicianship.

​

Musicians and vocalists perform to a pre-recorded orchestral and choral backing track using a click track and in-ear monitors. Reading musical notation, while not a requirement, is certainly a plus. Vocalists must also be able to take their cues from the music (at times with a little help from the drummer), and in addition to pop, rock and legit classical solo passages, vocalists are required to enhance pre-recorded choral parts in a number of languages including English, French, German, Italian and (our personal favorite) Latin.

So… we we've found it save us all time if we just “get to it.” 😉
