While loyal to their traditionalist foundation, they have taken a contemporary leap into the experimental, giving new sound to what would have otherwise been collecting dust in the backdrop of Indonesian music. With colorful displays, titillating voice, and an untamed appetite for traditional choreography, the Indonesian Children and Youth Choir truly captures the fire of cultural expression.

The choir explores highly artistic and difficult repertoire, spanning Renaissance and Baroque music to the music of the 21st century with a special focus on the works of Taiwanese composers. In seeking fresh inspiration and exploring different facets of choral art, Natus Cantorum has worked with several renowned conductors and composers such as Ching-Ming Lu, Tien-Ming Tang, Edgar Macapili, Victor Shen, Mei-Chun Cheng and Chun-Yen Chang, all of whom has commended Natus Cantorum for its excellent choral performances.
