Cantus Ensemble Summer Workshop

The Cantus Ensemble will mark the year of 2007 with its fifth summer workshop, which is held from 11 to 17 July at the summer centre of the Jeunesses Musicales Croatia in Grožnjan. Young artists - conductors, composers and musicians - will thus be able to enhance their skills and acquire new knowledge in the area of contemporary musical idiom through a direct contact and communication with the ensemble members and artistic director, Mr. Berislav Šipuš.
