amarcord is a vocal quintet from Leipzig whose five singers - two tenors, a baritone and two basses - blend classical a cappella tradition with jazz. The group has earned international recognition, including for their recording of Renaissance polyphony by Josquin des Prez. Since 2023 they hold a teaching post in ensemble singing at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig.
The Leipzig vocal ensemble amarcord performs a programme spanning from the Renaissance to the present, blending classical masterworks with contemporary compositions and folk songs.
Vocal ensemble amarcord pays tribute to Paul Gerhardt on the 350th anniversary of his death, performing chorales and early music at St. Katharinen in Hamburg.
