Formed in 1992, the vocal ensemble NOVA specialises in a cappella works of early music and the 20th and 21st centuries. The number of the group members is adjusted from project to project to make full use of the tonal possibilities. The ensemble’s repertory ranges from Renaissance madrigals and masses to compositions by Luciano Berio, Beat Furrer, Friedrich Haas, Bernhard Lang and Benjamin Britten. In addition to national and international success with stage productions, CD recordings and world premieres, the ensemble has performed at many festivals, such as the Salzburg Festival, the Bregenz Festival, Wien Modern, the Ruhr Trienniel, and the Lucerne Festival.
