Music that travels,
touches and connects
Cantatekaravaan is a travelling ensemble exploring the richness of the cantata repertoire - from old masters to contemporary composers. What we play matters, but perhaps where we play matters even more. In a church, a barn, a garden or a castle: wherever people gather, music regains its original power - intimate, direct and deeply human. For five years the caravan has brought music that travels, resonates and connects communities.
Who we are looking for
