The ‘Canta Nova Choir’ performed within the Quadrangle, at the City Chambers earlier today before a select audience which included the Consuls General for Turkey, Switzerland and Japan.
Canta Nova Choir was founded in 1987, as an amateur mixed voices choir. The current singers, around 30 individuals, now perform choral music – from sacred and classical music to pop music, a cappella or with accompaniment. The ensemble presents its versatility at concerts, cultural and social events as well as at concert tours to other European countries (the UK, Italy, Estonia, and Poland).
The Choir are visiting Edinburgh and Glasgow this weekend and have also arranged a concert later today with the Toccata choir in Livingston.
The guests included Semih Lutfu Turgut, Consul General – Turkish Consulate General in Edinburgh, Peter Müller-McDougall, Hon Consul General, Treasurer of The Consular Corps in Edinburgh & Leith, Mr Daisuke Matsunaga, Consul General of Japan and Mrs Izabella Brodzińska, the Chair of the Scottish Polish Cultural Association and her guest, Ms Inga Cylini, who is German and is the Secretary of the Edinburgh Society of Musicians.
Constantinos Hajivassiliou, Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Cyprus in Scotland was also among the guests.
