CANTA 2026

CANTA is a choir project focused on diversity in both repertoire and expression. The choir comprises 25 singers and is conducted by Kasper Borchersen, with pianist Love Persson performing a solo piece.

The concert features a major choral work, Danish music, and a geographical focus: in 2026, the spotlight is on the USA and Canada with three female composers. This year's repertoire includes:

Missa Brevis St. Joannis de Deo (Franz Joseph Haydn, 5 movements)
Underlige aftenlufte (Carl August Nielsen/arr. Kasper Borchersen)
Uden kærlighed (Pernille Louise Sejlund)
Seasons of Love (Eleanor Daley, 3 movements)
O my dear Heart (Eleanor Daley)
There is a place (Rosaphyne Powell)
Now is the time (Cecilia McDowall)

The concert also includes a couple of communal songs performed together with the audience.
