who we are

Vox Peregrini gives choral singers the chance to explore music in a unique way. Since 2015, singers have been transformed by the exhilarating and exhausting experience of walking from village to village, rehearsing along the route, and performing at the end of the journey.

our name

Vox Peregrini can be loosely translated as "the voice of pilgrims."   The terms 'pilgrim' and 'peregrinus' have carried multiple meanings over the centuries and have an extensive history.  Phillip Edwards offers a detailed, yet concise introduction to the terms in his book, Pilgrimage and Literary Tradition (Cambridge University Press, 2005).

People need wild places.  Whether or not we think we do, we do.  We need to be able to taste grace and know again that we desire it.  We need to experience a landscape that is timeless, whose agenda moves at the pace of speciation and glaciers.  To be surrounded by a singing, mating, howling commotion of other species, all of which love their lives as much as we do ours, and none of which could possibly care less about us in our place.  It reminds us that our plans are small and somewhat absurd.        BARBARA KINGSOLVER, Small Wonder
