Vox Nova Chamber Choir, founded in 2009, features members of the Maine Midcoast musical community including Bowdoin College faculty and alumni. The group champions the expansive body of modern and contemporary choral music an seeks to engage audiences in a fresh musical experience through exposure to new music by living composers. Although the choir typically performs an entirely a cappella repertory, Vox Nova has become known for inventive programming and has sought in recent years to engage soloists and instrumentalists in meaningful collaborations to bring its audiences a well-rounded listening experience.
