Exsultemus is comprised of eight of Boston’s leading
young singers who rejoice in performing early music’s
best-known favorites and rediscovered gems spanning the Medieval,
Renaissance, and early Baroque periods. Modeled after small
estate and chapel choirs, the ensemble performs without conductor,
requiring a close relationship between the singers who must
rely upon each other for musical cues and phrasing, resulting
in vibrant and engaging performances. Exsultemus is committed
to historically informed performance, employing just intonation
and period pronunciation based on scholarship by experts
in the field. Exsultemus is Ensemble-in-Residence at The
First Lutheran Church of Boston and is an organizational
member of the Society for Historically Informed Performance
(SoHIP) and Early Music America (EMA).
