Whether it means creating compositions tailored to a specific choir or finding a new take on compositional techniques, choral music has been, is and always will continue reflecting our society in terms of both cultural and philosophical heritage. Contemporary choral compositions are an integral part of contemporary modern music projects such as the Ostrava Days of New Music (OD) festival organised by the Ostrava Centre for New Music (OCNH), and thanks to its live production by the vocal ensemble Canticum Ostrava (CO) lead by Yuri Galatenko, it can continue to evolve and push its boundaries forward.
