musica intima

Internationally renowned for their warm and engaging stage presence, impeccable musicianship, and unique perspective on ensemble singing, musica intima has earned a reputation as Canada’s most exciting vocal ensemble. Twelve professional co-artistic directors/singers make up the personnel of musica intima. Lloyd Dykk of the Vancouver Sun says “the flexibility and agility that are a function of their small size is partly what makes them so exciting.” But what makes musica intima truly unique is that they rehearse, perform and function as a collective. In rehearsal, they exchange ideas freely while exploring their own musical creativity. In performance, they engage the audience with a spontaneity and directness all their own. musica intima has released five recordings with the ATMA label including clear (2002), invocation (2004), forgotten peoples (2006), o nata lux (2008), and their latest effort into light (2010) which has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award. Two earlier releases have received nominations, including Juno award-nominated disc musica intima (1998) and CBC records release nativite (2002), also nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award.
