Evocantus
Evocantus is a Eugene-based small chamber choir for young adults, and a proud member choir of the Eugene Concert Choir organization. Evocantus was founded in 2024 to provide an exciting opportunity for young adults to perform challenging chamber music repertoire in intimate performance spaces. Over the past year, Evocantus has performed at the Hult Center, a garden party, and in two of their own concerts held at Grace Lutheran church. Evocantus recently performed with Eugene Vocal Arts in Cosmic Voices last April at the Hult Center, and presented their own concert in May at the Eugene Science Center Planetarium.
Evocantus has a concert season of their own. Check out their programs at Evocantus.org
“Evocantus was stunning, and so moving. Even beyond their remarkable musicianship and vocal maturity, those young singers have such a beautiful tone and shared sense of the music.”
