Cantare Children's Choir

Description

The Cantare Children's Choir is under the direction of Catherine Glaser-Climie, Founder and Artistic Director. Based in Calgary, Alberta, the choir is in it's ninth season since it's inception in 1997. The choir program offers four ensembles to meet the needs and abilities of differing ages and backgrounds. Cantilena is the youngest ensemble offering an introductory experience to choral singing for boys and girls ages 6 to 9 years of age. The Cantiga ensemble is intended for boys and girls ages 8 to 10 years of age. Cantare is the main performance and touring ensemble , and is comprised of boys and girls ages 11 to 14 yrs. Cantando is for experienced singers ages 15 to 19 years of age. Over 180 children ages 6 through 19 come together each week to experience the joy of singing. Though they represent diverse abilities and backgrounds, the children are united through the study and performance of great choral music to discover that music can be a bridge to understanding. Compassion, sensitivity, consideration, commitment, tolerance, discipline, co-operation and teamwork are the ideals to which we aspire. In addition to giving performances, choristers gain valuable training in musicianship, self-discipline, confidence, poise and teamwork. Singers enjoy meeting and getting to know other children who share their interests. The very finest sacred and secular works from all styles and periods form the foundation for musical learning and serve as the basis for the cirriculum...
