Introducing Hamilton Children's Choir

The Hamilton Children's Choir has an impressive history of appearances, from being invited to showcase at the America Choral Directors' Association National Conference (Minneapolis 2017) and the World Youth and Children's Choral Festival (Hong Kong 2019) to carrying off first place in their category at Let the People Sing EuroRadio Choral Competition (Norway 2019). They had this to say about their upcoming appearance at WSCM 2020: "We're looking forward to meeting, sharing with, and learning from other children’s and youth choirs' programmes. We're also eager to discover the music and culture that matters most to the people of New Zealand. That's what it’s all about!"

NOTUS Contemporary Vocal Ensemble

Given that their recent album recording features five world premières, it will come as no surprise that NOTUS Contemporary Vocal Ensemble is looking forward to showcasing a vibrant and diverse selection from the treasury of America's living composers. Based at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, this collegiate vocal ensemble's commitment to breathing life into the works of living composers has seen them collaborate with major artists such as Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw and guest conductor and former King’s Singer Simon Carrington.
