Canens

Slovakia

The choir Canens was founded in 1990 by Gabriel Rovňák. Under his leadership, the choir has had over 700 concerts and recordings, including over half of them abroad, as well as 41 foreign concert tours (France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, England, Netherlands, Croatia, Czech Republic, Austria, Sweden, Ukraine, Poland, Finland and Latvia, South Africa). It is the fi rst Eastern European choir that was honored to sing in Windsor, the summer residence of the British Queen. They also performed in the Rudolfi num or in the Cathedral of St. Vít at the Prague Castle. In recent years, the choir has undergone a major generational exchange and is shaping up in a new form. This is partly refl ected in the selection of a repertoire which, in addition to the classical works of the choral repertoire, includes several arrangements of traditional and pop songs. At present, the choir accompanist is Andrea Hallon Stankovska and the conductor Zuzana Buchova Holičková.
