Schola Cantorum On Hudson

Leaders in Choral Artistry for the 21st Century! Schola Cantorum on Hudson was formed as an independent choral ensemble in the fall of 1995. Its members have been drawn together by a shared love of great choral music and by a dedication to the highest standard of performance of that repertoire. Beyond that, the group has come, increasingly, to live into the powerful experience of making music, and the belief that in doing so, a positive difference is made in the world. “Schola Cantorum” (literally “school of singers”) was the name by which the very first groups of singers were called, as early as the eighth century. The Hudson River remains a waterway that represents the New World. The underlay of the logo, which was the artistic product of a small group of Schola’s founding members, similarly captures this open-ended temporality in its progression from early notational styles to those of the post-modern era…and the rest is history; or, so the saying goes. Now with equal home-base performance arenas in Manhattan and New Jersey, and prominent international experience to boot, Schola Cantorum on Hudson of the 21st Century has expanded its mission, its sphere of activity, its performing membership, its administrative structure, its number of performances and performing ensembles, and added a number of unique and innovative programs, and new educational offerings — while never leaving behind the original vision of high-quality performance and education.
