Spring Concert: Sunday, May 12th, 7 p.m.

Our spring concert, called "Poetic License," will be a selection of brilliant poetry set by fantastic composers.

Our concert is in memory of long-time Cantilena member and writer, Mordena Babich - hence the focus on the union of words and music!

Included on the program will be Holmes' setting of Kenyon's poem "Let Evening Come," Daley's setting of Yeats' poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," settings of e.e. cummings by Persichetti, settings of Alarcon by Roger Bourland, and of course a little Shakespeare.

We are delighted that Scott Wheeler accepted our commission to set Lewis Carroll's poem "The Jabberwocky" -- a favorite of Mordena's -- to be premiered at this concert.
(Learn more about Scott Wheeler and this commission here.)

Sunday, December 2nd, 4 p.m.

Our fall concert was titled "Music of French Masters: La Belle Epoque and Beyond" and featured Poulenc's Litanies à la Vierge Noir and selections from André Caplet's Messe à Trois Voix as well as works by Lili Boulanger, Vincent d'Indy, Jules Massenet, and Cecile Chaminade.

A Special Occasion in our 2013 season:

Cantilena had a wonderful experience participating in the Harvard (Quadrennial) Women's Choral Fest February 15-16th in Sanders Theater!   We joined Sweet Honey in the Rock, Boston-based Lorelei Ensemble, Capella Clausura, Harvard's Kuumba Singers, Los Angeles Children's chorus and many others in celebration of the exellence and diversity of music and musicians dedicated to compositions for treble voices.
