Cantabile's All Choir Concert

Cantabile's All Choir Concert is Cantabile’s annual May concert, where Vocalise, Ensemble, Intermediate, Bravi, Prep 3 and Prep 2 join together for a fabulous performance. Prep 3 will have the opportunity to perform with the Prep 2 and Intermediate Choir, as well as with the older singers in what we call “Mass Choir” repertoire. Tickets sell out quickly for this event so visit the Cantabile website (or refer to your SCOOP emails) for information on how to purchase them.

Please also make sure that your calendars are marked with our dress rehearsal on May 15th at First United Methodist Church in Palo Alto! Information about call times, pick-up and drop-off procedures for May 15th and May 16th is coming soon!

Uniform

All Choir Concert - We invite singers to wear something that reflects their heritage and ancestry, like a scarf or sash, with their full, Cantabile concert uniform (blue ties for boys). Alternatively, singers can chose to wear a whole costume instead of their uniform. (No hats please)
 

Prep Recitals - Singers must purchase and wear their Cantabile uniform - Cantabile red polo shirt, black pants and black shoes & socks for boys; Cantabile red polo shirt,black pleated skirt, black stockings & shoes for girls. Uniforms are purchased from Merry Mart Uniforms in Santa Clara, either in store or online.

Spring Recitals at Foothills Congregational Church, Los Altos

In addition to our big concert with the other choirs, Cantabile’s Prep classes all have their own recitals at the end of each term to showcase what we have accomplished. (Monday and Tuesday Prep 3 classes each have their own recital, as do all classes in the Prep division). The recitals take place at our regular rehearsal location. 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.

Recital Times

Monday Prep 3: Monday, May 18, 5:15-6:30pm (Please note that the time of this recital is later than the usual Monday class time in order to accommodate other recitals on the same day.)

Tuesday Prep 3: Tuesday, May 19, 5:15-6:30pm

Recital Potluck

It is a Cantabile tradition for us to follow our recitals with a potluck for singers and families. Instructions on what to bring will be coming soon!
