Cappella Nova
Formed in 1982 by Alan and Rebecca Tavener, Cappella Nova is Scotland's leading professional vocal ensemble specialising in early (medieval and renaissance) and contemporary music.
Since 1986 they have commissioned and premiered more than 50 new works, mostly by Scottish composers. In 1990 the group premiered John Tavener's three-hour long work, Resurrection, which was commissioned by the City of Glasgow in celebration of it's year as European Capital of Culture.
As well as promoting their own season of concerts and workshops in historic venues across Scotland, Cappella Nova have made several appearances at the Edinburgh International Festival as well as foreign festivals such as the Regensburg Tage Alte Musik and Paris Mai Baroque. The group is in demand abroad: as well as given a series of recitals at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, they have toured in Russia, Hungary, Germany and France.

Cappella Nova is Scotland's premier vocal ensemble. Its focus, commitment and virtuosic a cappella singing would make it premier just about anywhere.
