About: Amici Cantus

The male voice choir Amici Cantus was founded in 1983 in Helsinki, Finland. The choir's repertoire contains both sacred and secular music, with main emphasis on Finnish music. Amici Cantus has recorded a collection of male choir songs from both Leevi Madetoja (1987) and Selim Palmgren (1990), and has also put out a complete collection of Einojuhani Rautavaara’s unaccompanied male choir repertoire (1997). In 2001, the choir published the complete male choir repertoire of Nils-Eric Fougstedt and in 2013, the complete a cappella male choir work of Toivo Kuula. In the fall of 2015, the choir made Finnish cultural history by making the premiere recording of the complete (if small) male choir output of Ernst Mielck for the Finnish Broadcasting Company.
