Cor Cantiamo To Perform at America Choral Directors Convention in March 2020

Illinois-based choir Cor Cantiamo has been selected to perform at the American Choral Directors’ Central/North Central Division convention next March. Also, the choir has been invited to be the group that premieres the ACDA Raymond Brock Commission Award winner. That is a singular honor for the choir and its conductor, Eric A. Johnson. The convention serves the ten Midwest states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and both Dakotas.

Cor Cantiamo, which is choir-in-residence at Northern Illinois University, is one of America’s finest chamber choirs. It is signed to the Anglo-American label Divine Art, which released its last album ‘Psallite’ in 2017 (a co-production with Soli Deo Gloria). March will see the release of its new album of music by British composer James Whitbourn (“The Seven Heavens”, Divine Art DDA 25192) label CEO Stephen Sutton is delighted to welcome Whitbourn to Divine Art’s roster of over 900 composers: “We have been privileged to work with relatively little known choral composers of utter genius, such as Lydia Kakabadse and John Buckley, and this new album by James Whitbourn contains some of the most beautiful and well-written choral music I have heard for decades.”
