Peter Brice, Vox Cantium’s Director of Music Peter, a choral exhibitioner from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, started a choir in 1995 for a Christmas concert in the Weald of Kent Hospice at Leeds Church, near Maidstone. This evolved into a very popular annual Christmas Concert, now in its 24th year, which has raised over £90,000 for the Hospice. |

Vox Cantium "Vox Cantium" means the "voice of Cantium", referring to Celtic people who lived in Cantium, the area we now call Kent. Today Vox Cantium consists of 20 voices singing music from the early Renaissance period (typically Allegri, Byrd, Tallis, de Lassus, Victoria, Gibbons) through later composers (Purcell, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov) to the present day (Esenvalds, Tavener, Hawes). |
