The Slovak choir ADOREMUS was founded in 1991 as a nationwide vocal ensemble dramaturgically focused on sacred music. Its mission is the dissemination and cultivation of spiritual music. The choir is based in Vráble, while its members come from various regions of Slovakia.
The ensemble has appeared at numerous international festivals (e.g. the Bratislava Music Festival, the Kirchenmusiktag in Vienna, Iuventus mundi cantat in Olomouc, AD UNA CORDA in Pezinok, among others), has given hundreds of concerts at home and abroad (Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Poland, Argentina, etc.), and has participated in nationwide church celebrations.
The choir has collaborated with leading Slovak composers, concert artists, and orchestras, including the State Philharmonic Košice, the Slovak Chamber Orchestra, the State Chamber Orchestra Žilina, the Gustav Brom Orchestra, the Moyzes Quartet, the Mucha Quartet, and other ensembles.
For Slovak Television, the choir recorded several music programmes, including Vianočné koledy, Adeste fideles, Čas radosti, Tichá noc, Radostná zvesť, Prostonárodná vianočná omša, Traja králi uzreli, Pater mi, Surrexit Christus, Tu es Petrus, Ave Maria, Sancta Maria, and Dedičstvo otcov. The ensemble has also produced several recordings. The first was a reel-to-reel tape of Taizé chants entitled Blízko je Pán (1992). This was followed by the profile recording Cantate Domino (1999), Vianočné koledy (2001), Radostná zvesť (2016), and most recently the Marian song collection Ave Maria (2023).
The choir’s long-standing artistic director and conductor is Dušan Bill.
