The Canticum Novum Singers

The Canticum Novum Singers, hailed by critics and audiences alike, is now in its 40th exciting season under the direction of its founder, Harold Rosenbaum. During the past 39 years, this chamber choir has achieved both national and international recognition for its stylistic versatility, vocal, and expressive range.

Our concerts this season will be held at The Church of Saint Jean Baptiste, 184 East 76th Street in New York City. (At 76th Street and Lexington Avenue.)

Celebrating 40 Years of CNS!

To celebrate The Canticum Novum Singers' 40th season in 2012-2013, we are expanding the choir and performing masterworks with professional orchestra The Artemis Chamber Ensemble and acclaimed soloists.

Saint Jean Baptiste Catholic Church was founded in 1882 as a national church serving the expanding French Canadian population in Yorkville on New York’s Upper East Side. It quickly became a spiritual center embracing many nationalities, as diverse as the city itself.
