Directed by Peter Schubert, the VivaVoce vocal ensemble is renowned for its particularly eclectic repertoire, ranging from Gregorian chant to 21st-century music.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for over forty-five years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener’s programme, the society has served both as a platform for today’s composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.
