Nova Singers truly represents the community and encompasses people from all walks of life, from high school students to retirees, as well as representatives from the NSU student body, faculty and staff. Its lightly blended choral sound is often demonstrated by music from the Renaissance. Most often, the group performs classical choral music, but selections also frequently include sacred, contemporary, Broadway, opera and pops selections.

Nova Singers have performed in Carnegie Hall, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., churches and cathedrals throughout Europe, and most venues in Southeast Florida, including Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and Gusman Hall at the University of Miami.

For more information on Nova Singers, or for information about the concerts, contact Miles Burnett at 954-262-2135.
