We've premiered scores of scores (redundancy intended)by young composers over the last few years. Bringing new music to life is at the core of our mission, and it has brought joy to our audiences, healthy challenges to our ensemble, and opportunities to the composers that we've worked with. Please enjoy a small selection of live premiere recordings, and we encourage you to join us in the future as we continue to support new music and young composers.

Tactus was conceived in December of 2011 as a student-led vocal ensemble of Concordia College (Moorhead, Minnesota) dedicated to classical choral music. The ensemble regularly appears in Concordia College’s chapel services, and has made special appearances at Concordia's Family Weekend Showcase and Candlelight Advent Services. Tactus has also performed for the college’s Board of Regents and major donors to the college at the annual Founder’s Day Banquet, both at the invitation of President William Craft. Since its inception, Tactus has presented multiple concerts on campus and toured northern Minnesota and North Dakota. All programs have featured new music by composers under the age of 22, including premieres by students of Concordia, Harvard University, and the University of Music and Performing Arts of Graz, Austria. The ensemble's nine members represent a range of academic concentrations, from Vocal Performance to Music Education to Graphic Design. Tactus has been a catalyst for creativity in the Concordia community, inspiring and premiering works by Concordia’s composers and appearing as a featured ensemble alongside other student-led groups in Concordia’s first annual Chamber Voices Festival.
