Vocal Ensemble Quorum
The mens ensemble Quorum was created in spring 2005 and has travelled a long creative path, spreading a style that is not well known in Lithuania. The group perform a cappella, but instead of an entire choir they only use six mens voices. Singing music this way they achieve a special, almost instrumental sound that is precise and subtle. The repertoire of the ensemble is varied and fit for all kinds of stages - sophisticated renaissance for halls, pop music and jazz for clubs and religious chants for churches. The group often works with famous pop musicians of Lithuania.
The leader of the group, Vitalij Neugasimov, arranges works for the ensemble, achieving unique harmonies and sound. Meanwhile, pieces from the renaissance and baroque periods are given an authentic performance, as this music was written to be performed by men.

Vitalij Neugasimov - countertenor
