We Are Cantabile

Cantabile Chamber Chorale [England, 1989]

Cantabile Chamber Chorale [England, 1989]


Thirty years ago, a group of 18 singers performed its first concert as the Cantabile Chamber Chorale under the direction of Rebecca Scott “to provide the challenge of singing the repertoire for small ensemble with all its difficulties, nuances and special performing problems, while providing the love and good fellowship of joining with close friends in an artistic endeavor.”  Now three decades later, we are proud to celebrate Cantabile’s 30th anniversary, a significant milestone in our history and a testament to our passion for performing new music.
