| Cantabile Youth Singers continues their 11th season with
a spirited performance of their winter concert , "One
Note at a Time”, at 7PM on Saturday, January 22nd, at
First United Methodist Church, 625 Hamilton in Palo Alto.
The concert will feature the top three choirs of Cantabile
Youth Singers in a program that speaks to the healing powers
of music. “One Note at a Time” is an entrancing
visit to the music and poetry of many cultures and traditions
spanning 4 centuries: from baroque and classical to gospel
and New Age; from the elegant songs of Henry Purcell to deeply
emotional psalms of the Sami people of Norway.
The highlight of the concert, Place of the Blessed, by American
composer Randal Thompson, is a rarely performed, beautiful
and moving melodious masterpiece. The work is performed by
Cantabile’s senior chorus, the Chamber Ensemble, and
talented instrumentalists of the San Jose State University
Department of Music.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join us in this memorable
musical event and to share some magical moments with family
and friends. Tickets are $12 general, $6 students.
Under the artistic leadership of Elena Sharkova, Cantabile
Youth Singers performs as the children’s chorus for
Opera San Jose, in concerts the San Jose State University
Chorale and will be performing at Carnegie Hall in June 2005.
The chorus has four levels which rehearse weekly in Los Altos
at Foothills Congregational Church and welcomes new singers
