Ars Cantica Choir

Ars Cantica Choir is a renowned mixed-voice polyphonic choir based in Milan, Italy. Founded in 1988 by its director, Marco Berrini, the group has evolved from being primarily composed of amateur singers to featuring mostly professional vocalists. Known for its versatility, Ars Cantica Choir performs a wide range of musical periods, from the Renaissance onwards, both a cappella and accompanied by musicians playing Renaissance and Baroque instruments. They have participated in numerous concerts, festivals, and musical events across Italy and internationally, including the Festival Internazionale Mozart and the Sagra Musicale Umbra. The choir has also garnered significant recognition for their performances and recordings, including winning the prestigious Concorso Corale Internazionale “Guido d'Arezzo” and the Gran Premio Europeo di Canto Corale. They are noted for their diverse discography, which includes works such as music by Lassus, Rossini, Mozart, and Liszt.

The choir's repertoire encompasses both traditional works and premieres of less commonly performed compositions. For example, they have introduced Italian audiences to Friedrich Nietzsche's *Weihnachtsoratorium* and have recorded notable works such as the complete choral music of Rossini for Naxos Records. Their commitment to showcasing a broad spectrum of musical styles and their collaboration with top orchestras have cemented their position as a leading ensemble in the Italian and international choral music scene.
