Established in July 2016, our group, named "New Song" in Portuguese, embodies a unique concept centered on utilizing IT technology to eliminate traditional boundaries like vocal parts, location, age, and race. Operating across three different regions in Japan, we aim to create a borderless and diverse foundation for continuous choral activities. Our repertoire showcases a diverse range of pieces with distinct ensemble arrangements and musical styles. We embrace an all-participatory approach to practice planning and ensemble activities, devoid of a traditional music director. To facilitate our creative endeavors, we've formed multiple teams for system development, concert management, content creation, and musical analysis, allowing us to be self-reliant in all aspects. Organization management is tailored to individual strengths. Our main appearances include the JCA National Choral Competition, Takarazuka International Chamber Chorus Contest, Tokyo International Choir Competition, and CancaoNova Chorus Next.
