Canto Novo Choir, an amateur choir that has existed for over 30 years, presents its annual Christmas concert. The choir's members have historically come largely from the Novo group, and they include chemical engineers, veterinarians, lab technicians, nurses, biochemists and communications staff who share a love of choral music.
The choir deliberately covers a wide range, from classical and traditional songs to pop, rock and jazz, sung with or without piano accompaniment. The programme mixes well-loved Christmas repertoire with other music, so there is something for most tastes. The choir is led by conductor Thomas Lynnerup Jakobsen, who has directed it since 2004 and also arranges much of its music.
