Spiritus Ensemble

Read Profile

Spiritus Ensemble is a semi-professional choral-instrumental ensemble of 18 voices plus an orchestra of varying size that performs mainly the liturgical music of J.S. Bach and other liturgically-conceived music. We perform four or five times a season in Kitchener-Waterloo, sometimes in concert and sometimes in a Bach Vespers format. Rehearsals take place on the two or three Saturday mornings preceding each performance. Performances are on Sundays at 4pm. The principal works for the 2019/20 season will be Bach’s Cantatas 76, 116, the St John Passion and Handel’s Messiah.
