Cantata Singers Concert - Nov. 17

Cantata Singers of Ottawa is turning 50! Hard to imagine the choir’s been around for that long, isn’t it? Our first concert of the season will be a special one to celebrate the event. Here’s some information about it for you. Of course I have tickets. So if you’d like one – or more than one – please let me know.

“50^th Anniversary Concert - A Choral Celebration” will feature the Canadian premiere of Bob Chilcott's Salisbury Vespers, with guests Capital Brassworks and the Cantiamo Girls Choir. It’s a very beautiful work with lots of interesting, sometimes jazzy rhythms. Perfect for celebrating!

The concert will be followed by a Gala Reception to reminisce about the past 50 years and raise a glass to the future. (Please note a separate reception ticket is needed and must be purchased in advance.) After seeing the menu, it should be a gala indeed!

Date is Sunday November 17 at 3:00 pm
