CANTABILÉ CHOIR

Cantabilé is a friendly and lively choir which has been running now for over 16 years.

We consist of around 50 mixed voices, and sing mainly sacred choral works, usually accompanied by an orchestra, but our summer concert is more light hearted with a wide variety of pieces.


Our Musical Director is Jean Holt

We rehearse once a week on a Thursday evening at 7.30pm, and perform to large audiences 3 times a year, usually in St Luke's Church, Parkstone.


If you have been to any of our concerts, we do hope you enjoyed them and our next one will be our Spring concert on Sunday 28th April 2024 - click here to see the concert poster.


Our first concert of 2023 was in April with the main piece being the lovely Eternal Light Requiem by Howard Goodall.  We also sang The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre plus Dark and Luminous Night by Ola Gjeilo.  The orchestra played the beautiful piece by Albinoni Adagio for Strings in G minor.

Our summer concert in July was a lovely mix of music from Irving Berlin’s ‘Puttin on the Ritz’ and ‘Cheek to Cheek’, to pieces by Wagner, Borodin, Verdi and Bob Dylan!  There were medleys from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway favourites and Joseph’s Dreamcoat, as well as some wonderful solos from 6 of the choir members and a stunning piano piece by Richard Holt.
