Cantus
Novus is an auditioned chamber choir based in Bucks County, PA.
Specializing in a cappella repertoire, the ensemble sings a varied
repertoire
including both choral masterworks and contemporary works of the best
choral
composers. In addition to its annual concerts in December and May, the
ensemble
performs regularly at other venues in the Delaware Valley throughout
the year.
Cantus Novus supports a choral intern program that provides talented
high
school and college-aged vocalists the opportunity to sing with the
ensemble
each season. The ensemble’s first recording, Jubilate: A
Celebration in
Song, will be available later in 2012.
Artistic
director of Cantus
Novus is Dr. John Leonard, professor of choral conducting at The
College of New
Jersey, and a graduate of the Esther Boyer College of Music at
During intermission we serve champagne, mimosas and orange juice from a cash bar.
