Cantabile promotes and shares the joy of choral music with our communities of singers, families, and audiences through high quality performance, education, and personal enrichment.

With the goal of “music for life,” our mission is to create an environment for dedicated non-professional singers of all ages to create music together; to help them attain the skills that provide a foundation for music in their lives; to perform professional-quality concerts with ambitious and varied programs; and to increase the appreciation and support for the choral arts in our communities through performances and collaboration with other arts organizations and artists.

Values

Joy: The creation of great choral music is a shared experience that lifts the spirits of all associated with its production. We value the enjoyment we bring to participants, families, and audiences in the music we teach, make, and hear.

Quality: We promote excellence through continuous improvement; high standards for repertoire, curriculum, and performance; and a firm commitment to inspire and reward our audiences and participants with our music.

Community: A strong sense of a shared community involving singers, artists, families, supporters, volunteers, administration, and audiences is fundamental to achieving our music education and performance goals.

Collaboration: We view collaboration as essential. Partnerships among our programs and with other Bay Area community and music organizations and composers enable Cantabile to strengthen our educational programs, extend our ability to reach audiences, and develop creatively.
