Cantus Ansambl Zagreb "Cantus is also... a desire to approach the contemporary music with high performing and professional criteria; a desire to discover the New and the Unknown; the one that brought us all together. We want this Journey that is about to begin to be as interesting as possible, that it lasts as long as possible and that it is always filled with Curiosity and Wonder..." - Berislav Šipuš in 2001, the year when the Cantus Ensemble was founded For almost fifteen years contemporary music in Croatia, both the one by Croatian composers and the one by the forerunners in the international arena, has largely lived through the activities of the Cantus Ensemble that has been established with the aim to explore, discover and introduce new and unchartered musical spheres. Soon after the leadership of the Music Biennale Zagreb, led by Berislav Šipuš, formed the ensemble in 2001, it established its own place and became a representative participant on the Croatian contemporary music scene. They are protagonists of all national festivals and manifestations, as well as the host of its own concert cycle since 2006. In 2008, Cantus became the official ensemble of the ISCM World Music Days in Vilnius after which their guest performances intensified. The high position of the Cantus Ensemble within the Croatian, as well as international context is indicated by the number of around 100 first performances, more than 500 performed opuses and more than 40 guest performances abroad (most of the countries in Europe, Mexico, Canada and China), as well as numerous guest soloists and conductors. They nurture an intensive cooperation with a number of prominent contemporary music ensembles and they took part in EU funded international projects Re: New Music and New Music: New Audiences. One of the most important aspects of the Ensemble's work are also guest performances at the leading festivals of contemporary music around the world. It is therefore no accident that they selected their national and international interpretations for the new triple CD, directing thus attention to the importance of the moment in the process of realization of a contemporary music work.
