won't be able to participate in the concert. Thank you for understanding
Cantabile’s concert policies.
Winter Recitals at Foothills Congregational Church
At the end of each term, Cantabile’s Prep
classes all have their own recital at FCC to showcase what we have
accomplished. Please come and support your young singers by enjoying a performance
of our songs, games, and activities. This is a relaxed and fun event that you
don’t want to miss! All
singers must come in their Cantabile uniform – please see instructions above.
