For the love of singing

The Cantilena Singers is a well-established chamber choir that performs regularly in Cambridge and the surrounding villages, now celebrating its 41st year.

The choir rehearses weekly during school term time, and performs three or four concerts per year. The choir normally performs unaccompanied, with programmes mixing sacred and secular music drawn from all historical periods and spanning many different styles. Recent programmes have included works by Britten, Whitacre, Lauridsen, Byrd, Tallis, Palestrina, Finzi, Rutter, and many others.

The choir has been established for 40 years, and is committed to promoting the joy of choral singing. Find out more…
