What does joy sound like? Schola Cantorum de Venezuela is one of the most important choral societies from the growing choral movement in Venezuela. With a repertoire of more than 50 major symphonic-choral works, the 45-voice SCV is beloved by highly-acclaimed conductors and composers alike. The group has performed several premières by Osvaldo Golijov and John Adams and has appeared on over 35 recordings. The premier touring chorus of Latin America, the Schola Cantorum has a breathtaking range of repertoire, from sacred hymns and motets to propulsive rhythms and tuneful popular idioms of their rich Latin American culture. Every SCV concert is a vivid cultural and joyous experience. They bring infectious passion to each work they sing. Their Ann Arbor debut program, Water and Fiesta, features songs by composers from Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, Cuba, Mexico, and the US.
