About

Ars Nova Copenhagen is a Danish vocal ensemble based in Copenhagen, founded in 1979 by composer Bo Holten. The twelve-strong group specialises in Renaissance polyphony alongside newly commissioned vocal works, often collaborating closely with living composers. Since March 2024 it has been led by Swedish conductor Sofi Jeannin, its first female chief conductor, following Paul Hillier's two-decade tenure. The ensemble has toured more than 40 countries and won a US Grammy Award in 2010 for its recording of David Lang's 'The Little Match Girl Passion'.
