VOCAL ENSEMBLE LUMINOS ENSEMBLE WILL CEASE ITS ACTIVITIES IN SPRING 2025

Luminos Ensemble, a vocal ensemble founded in 2009, has decided to end its activities after the spring 2025 season. The decision was taken unanimously after the ensemble's artistic director and founder Sauli Hannuksela announced that he will step down at Easter 2025.

Luminos Ensemble is deeply grateful to Mr Hannuksela for his longstanding work for the ensemble and respects his decision.

"Luminos has been more than just an ensemble for all of us - it has been a passion, a community and a musical home. As we feel that the band cannot continue without its founder, we have decided to bring this journey to a worthy conclusion," the band says.

The Luminos Ensemble would like to thank its partners, listeners, supporters and especially the families of the singers for all the support and encouragement it has received over the years.

Although the story of Luminos is coming to an end, the singers' love for music will live on - it just can't live on in Luminos anymore. But the music and the memories of the band will live on in recordings and in hearts. They will not fade, but will continue to play in time and in the minds of listeners.
