ARS NOVA Copenhagen (until 2003 known as Ars Nova (4)) was founded in 1979 by Bo Holten and is widely recognized as one of the world's finest vocal ensembles. The ensemble's chief conductor and artistic director since 2003 is the acclaimed British conductor Paul Hillier. Ars Nova has also worked with Bo Holten, Tamás Vetö (both former chief conductors), Kaspars Putniņš, Andrew Lawrence-King, Anthony Rooley, Kees Boeke, Michael Bojesen and Søren K. Hansen (all of which has appeared as guest conductors). The ensemble specializes in the interpretation of the polyphonic choral music of the renaissance and new vocal music.
