Collegium Cantorum
Olle Johansson, director
Works by Desprez, Palestrina, Schütz, Hillborg, Lindberg, Couperin, Bruckner, Grieg, and Bach
Collegium Cantorum, the chamber choir of Sweden's Uppsala Cathedral, was founded in 1983 as a vocal ensemble for advanced singers wishing to pursue higher levels of choral virtuosity. Renowned in Europe for their exceptional interweaving of multiple voices and independent melodies into contrapuntal harmonies, and for a repertoire that ranges from renaissance polyphony to contemporary Nordic compositions, the choir customarily gives just around five concerts per year. Truly a rare musical opportunity.
