Cantaré is the ensemble of our program for children ages 12 to 18. Singers are challenged to new heights of musical sophistication through the study of high quality repertoire in unison and up to six-part harmony. Performance opportunities within the community and tours are an important enrichment to the training these advanced singers receive.
Rehearsals Wednesdays 6-9 PM at Lutheran Church of the Cross
Core Focus: Synthesis
Membership in Cantare represents years of work in Cantilena and Cantiga. Choristers who sing in Cantare are encouraged to develop their own musical/vocal/artistic goals and work together to accomplish them.
In the past, members of our Cantaré ensemble have been featured as performers in Calgary Opera’s productions of Otello, The Inventor, Tosca, Carmen, Turandot, Dead Man Walking, Magic Flute, Sweeney Todd, Hansel and Gretel, La Boheme, Susannah, and Filumena. and at prestigious events for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Alberta in 2005; the Kodály Society of Canada; the Alberta Kodály Society; the Alberta Choral Federation; Calgary Concert Band; University of Lethbridge Singers; Chefs of UNICEF Gala; Banff International Television Festival Awards Ceremony; Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation; Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival Stars of the Festival Concert; Bob Carlisle and Orchestra; Bishop Grandin High School, and the Calgary Bach Society.
Touring is an important enrichment to the comprehensive training these singers receive.
