ABOUT SONUS
SONUS is a modern a cappella choir, born from the desire to create beautiful music with excellence and passion, with an emphasis on modern and sacred music. They are dedicated to a collective leadership, working together to create a transcendent experience, not only for the listener, but for the performer. Every member of the choir has input in the shaping of the music, creating a truly beautiful and unified sound.

Since its founding in 2014, SONUS has created a unique listening experience, as they sing in an open semi-circle with the conductor singing with them in their midst. This allows a uniquely emotional and dynamic performance, as the separation is removed between choir and conductor. Their specialization of straight-tone singing creates yet another level of musical synergy. There is no vibrato to disrupt the overtones created by pure pitches, so the full color of sound can be heard and felt, making SONUS a rich and deeply moving musical experience.

SONUS has had the honor of singing in some of the most prestigious locations and events in the country, including a featured concert at St. John the Divine Cathedral in New York City, singing a Pulitzer Prize-winning piece with modern ensemble Bang on a Can as well as singing a solo set at Big Ears Music Festival, singing by special invitation at the Sewanee Summer Music Festival, and touring nationally. SONUS was also featured on composer Rachel Grimes’s acclaimed folk-opera album, “The Way Forth”, with members of SONUS touring with her nationally. SONUS has also performed at the Ryman auditorium in Nashville TN. 

SONUS has released two albums which are available on all streaming platforms, and has upcoming projects with various composers. More information can be found at SONUSchoir.com
