Goethe Lounge: Ensemble Nobiles

Ensemble Nobiles is a world-renowned vocal ensemble from Leipzig, Germany. The five members met during their nine-year education as members of the famous St. Thomas Boys Choir Leipzig, and decided to found their own group in 2006.

Since then, Ensemble Nobiles has made a name for itself in the international A Capella scene by winning many awards and choir competitions, recording albums and performing all over the world.

In addition to performances in Germany at festivals such as the prestigious Bachfest Leipzig, the group also toured to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, France, Italy, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and the Netherlands.

Their repertoire ranges from medieval songs to contemporary works. The musicians attach great importance to the works of German Romantic composers and to their extensive repertoire of church music.
