The Cantus Ensemble

Having partnered with Classic FM, Capital Radio, ITV, The Ned, Fulham Football Club, Grosvenor Group, the Cellar Society, and the InterContinental London at the O2, as well as over fifty weddings and assorted carolling events, Cantus is the go to choir for minimal fuss, maximum flexibility and competitive rates that will delight you and your guests. Acclaimed as one of London’s leading chamber choirs, The Cantus Ensemble continues to delight audiences from across the capital and beyond with its passionate, precise and gripping performances of works large and small from across the choral spectrum. Founded by Dominic Brennan in 2011, the choir has built a reputation for innovative and immersive programming, breaking down barriers with audiences and championing emerging choral composers. Recorded by the Decca label on Rebecca Dale’s debut album Requiem for my Mother / When Music Sounds, the choir has featured on radio; on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM, Scala Radio; on TV on ITV’s Live at the Palladium and in worldwide ad campaigns for brands including Dassault Systèmes. The choir is proud to have built up strong relationships with groups including Global Radio, The Ned and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Made up of the cream of the capital’s most talented singing accountants, teachers, doctors and Fine Wine merchants, to name but a few professions, Cantus’ diverse membership is its best asset, driving performances that always feel intimate, no matter the grandeur of the venue. The choir has toured Rome, Budapest, Vienna, Barcelona, Ljubljana, Lisbon and Kraków, and performed at Cathedrals and Basilicas across Europe, as well as at London’s Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall. The choir has given acclaimed performances of some of the most challenging repertoire in the choral canon, including Poulenc’s Figure Humaine, Strauss’ Deutsche Motette, Caroline Shaw’s Partita for 8 voices and Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles, alongside a wide array of vocal music ranging from sixteenth-century polyphony to world and European premieres of new music by leading contemporary composers.
