The Glasgow Barons Early Music Festival: Vocal ensemble Cantus Firmus specialises in performing early music, with a focus on both sacred and secular Renaissance polyphony. The ensemble comprises 8 to 12 singers, depending on the needs of each project. Embracing a democratic approach to musical direction, Cantus Firmus operates with minimal conducting, with leadership shared among the singers.
Founded in 2015, Cantus Firmus originally sang for Choral Evensong services at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow, filling in when the Cathedral’s choir was on holiday. Since 2018, the group has expanded its reach, performing in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dumfries, and St Andrews, and now focuses primarily on concert performances. In February 2020, Cantus Firmus released its first album, "Sacred Europe", available on Spotify, Apple Music, and CD. When programming our concerts, we strive to perform a mix of well-known classics from the Renaissance period, while also introducing our audiences to lesser-known works from this era.
