cantanima – Steirischer Landesjugendchor

Styrian Youth Choir cantanima

Cantanima was founded by the Styrian Choral Association in 2004 with the aim of uniting musically talented and especially motivated singers between the ages of 16 and 26 from all over Styria. The singers, who are chosen at an annual audition, work on challenging choral literature during rehearsal days and weekends. It is only possible to maintain high musical achievement through the singers'commitment, the intense phases of rehearsal and additional vocal coaching: the most delicate choral music, performed with precision and balance, partly by memory, but most importantly, always true to the choir's name “sung with soul”. Cantanima has performed successfully at renowned choir festivals, has given a great number of concerts in Austria and its neighboring countries, won numerous prizes at international competitions.

The choir was founded by Franz M. Herzog and has been conducted by Sebastian Meixner since 2014.
