Lúčnica Choir is the part of the Artistic Ensemble Lúčnica since that group’s foundation in 1948. The choirmasters were Štefan Klimo (1951 – 1983), Peter Hradil (1983 – 1998), Marian Vach (1998 – 2003) and at present the artistic director and choirmaster is Elena Matušová (2003/2004).

The choir has introduced itself on prestigious international choir festivals and numerous concert tours (USA, South Korea, Argentina, Jordan, Israel, Venezuela, Taiwan, Mexico and most European countries).

Its rich repertoire was built over many years, and includes works of all periods and different genres. As a leading Slovak vocal ensemble it cooperates with significant Slovak and Czech music ensembles, choirmasters, and soloists.

In addition to concert activities, the choir regularly realizes recordings for Slovak and foreign music publishers (OPUS, Musica, Supraphon, SONY BMG and Naxos), and it has successfully established itself in movie music for leading domestic and international productions.
