Where music-making is joyful, social, and meaningful.
Luz Canta Men is a newly formed male choir, building a vibrant 3-part vocal ensemble. We combine solid vocal technique with rich harmony and a strong sense of community.
What We Sing
From Bach and Mozart to musicals, jazz, and pop — our repertoire spans classical and contemporary genres. We also collaborate with the Luz Canta Women’s Choir for powerful 4-part performances in multiple languages.
Our Choir Culture
- A warm, welcoming, and social environment
- Focus on vocal technique, harmony, solfège & expression
