About Schola Cantorum on Hudson Schola Cantorum on Hudson formed as an independent chorus in the fall of 1995. The group s artistic mission is to enrich the life and the cultural awareness of the community by providing the highest quality of choral music and educational opportunities. In addition to its expanded 2007-2008 concert season and its anticipated tour of Austria and the Czech Republic, culminating in a performance at the 2008 Salzburg Festival, SCH participates in a variety of community events, and is increasingly performing concerts beyond Hudson County. The individual members of SCH have been drawn together by a shared love of great choral music and by a dedication to the highest standard of performance of that repertoire. 3
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Thomas A. DeGise, County Executive, and the Board of Chosen Freeholders. 4
