Cantabile Singers

Rehearsal time:  Monday, 6:00-8:00 P.M.

Cantabile Singers is the advanced choir, made up of young ladies in upper middle school and high school.  Membership in this choir requires a high level of musicianship, maturity, and commitment.  The audition includes performance of a solo, as well as demonstration of rhythm and other musicianship skills, including sight-singing.  2000-2001 was the first year for the Cantabile Singers as a full time choir.  In the past, the Cantabile Singers have performed as a small ensemble, comprised of selected members of Chorale.  They have performed at the Children in Harmony Choral Festival in Orlando, Florida; the White House; the NC Governor’s Mansion; and several other area events, including Advent Evensong at the Church of the Good Shepherd.  The Cantabile Singers returned to the Children in Harmony Choral Festival as the 2002 Honor Choir.  In July 2004, they traveled to British Columbia, Canada to participate in the International Choral Kathaumixw Program and to tour the area.   In June of 2006 they attended Mozart’s 250th birthday celebration in Austria (Salzburg and Vienna).  Most recently, Cantabile toured France in June of 2009.

A WORD ABOUT TRAVEL:  The Girls’ Chorale and the Cantabile Singers are traveling choirs, and all members are expected to participate in all performances, both in town and out of town.  We anticipate some traveling every year and are committed to a major trip every other summer.  It is not expected that both choirs will have major trips during the same year.  To minimize travel expenses, we will not schedule overseas tours more than once every four to six years.  By accepting a position in the Girls’ Chorale or the Cantabile Singers, choir members and their parents make a commitment to travel both in state and out of state and possibly abroad.  Due to space limitations, parents may not be able to accompany their children on trips.
