ReVocal Ensemble

ReVocal Ensemble was formed by the ReMusica Festival in Kosovo. It is known for its broad stylistic repertoire, ranging from the early Albanian music, renaissance and baroque, with works by composers Gjergj Danush Lapacaj, Jan Kukuzeli, to modern Albanian compositions and contemporary world music. Led by conductor Rafet Rudi, ten professional singers have come together to perform high level choral music with finesse and emotion. Rafet Rudi is a composer, conductor and thinker in the field of music philosophy and theory. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and one of the most prominent and active music personalities of recent decades in the Kosovo music scene. Rudi was conductor of the professional Radio and Television Choir in Prishtina from 1980 to 1987, which performed in all countries of former Yugoslavia. Between 2006 and 2020, he directed the Kosovo Philharmonic Choir and had hundreds of public appearances with a cappella programmes both in Kosovo and in Europe. Under his direction, the Kosovo Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra performed a number of important vocal and instrumental works such as: Mozart's Missa in D major, Monteverdi's "Vespro della Beata Virgine 1610", Bach's Cantata no. 1. 28 by Bach, Mass in C major by Beethoven, Requiem by Mozart, etc.
