Schola Cantorum celebrated their 20th anniversary
last year. In these twenty years the choir has under the
direction of Hörður Áskelsson, cantor at Hallgrímskirkja
been ambitious in delivering various music from old
times to present to their audience in sophisticated,
yet warm manner. Earlier this year Schola Cantorum
was awarded as the Performer of 2016 at The Iceland
Music Awards. Their latest cd Meditatio issued by the
Swedish label BIS has been widely praised. Last April
Schola Cantorum sang five concerts in Los Angeles as
it was invited by Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra
to sing in the breathtaking Walt Disney Concert Hall.
