VoXX was formed around the turn of this century as Ave Maris Stella, a group of passionate singers who gathered in living rooms to challenge themselves with early, a cappella music. Since then, the ensemble has grown in size and skill and has built a loyal following while performing at many venues around Maine, from Portland to Blue Hill and many towns in between.
Today the ensemble enjoys the challenges of both well-known and unusual a cappella vocal music, with a wide-ranging repertoire that includes more familiar works by composers such as Byrd, Dufay, Josquin, Monteverdi, and Palestrina, along with less-familiar discoveries from the Medieval to the modern.
