Ensemble Lumaka is a Dutch chamber music ensemble from Amsterdam, founded by flautist Jana Machalett, violist Martina Forni and harpist Miriam Overlach while they were students at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Now active for more than twenty years, the ensemble has won prizes including the International Chamber Music Competition Almere and Het Debuut. Lumaka specialises in the unusual combination of flute, harp and strings, focusing on chamber repertoire from the interwar period, and its members also perform with leading ensembles such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
The ensemble performed on January 25, 2026 in trio formation (flute, cello, harp) at the Hippolytuskerk in Hippolytushoef with the program 'In a Landscape', inspired by John Cage.
On the occasion of Maurice Ravel's 150th birthday, Lumaka released a new CD with its own arrangements of his music, coinciding with the ensemble's 20th anniversary.
At the Concertgemaal in Amsterdam, the ensemble performed a preview program around Ravel, with works by Jean Cras and Joseph Jongen as additions.
Violinist Laura Lunansky joined the ensemble this season as a new permanent member.
