CancaoNova

The choir was founded in July 2016 and its name means "new song" in Portuguese. It is a choral group that aspires to surprising choral activities.
Regardless of their choral experience, age, gender, or place of residence, the choir aims to create new sounds and choral activities.
The choir does not have a so-called home base, but is active in three branches: the Kanto branch (Tokyo), the Tokai branch (Shizuoka and Aichi), and the Kansai branch (Hyogo). Their main stage performances are in the JCA National Choral Competition, the Fukushima Vocal Ensemble Contest, and the Tokyo International Choir Competition. The first concert is scheduled to be held on March 15, 2020.
