ABOUT THE CHORUS

About the Chorus History About the Conductor Join Us

Cantaré Vocal Ensemble is a mixed-voice ensemble with singers drawn from all around the Seattle area. Dedicated to presenting concerts of fine choral repertoire by exploring a wide range of choral literature, Cantaré offers singers the opportunity to learn and perform a variety of serious repertoire including 19th-century spirituals, psalms, and plainchant, as well as works by 20th century composers. Much of this repertoire is a cappella, drawing from the traditional choral library as well as serious literature from lesser-known choral composers.

Conducted by Mark Adrian, the ensemble numbers around 40-50 singers from throughout the greater Seattle area. Concerts are typically performed at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral on Capitol Hill, Lakeside School in north Seattle, and at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle.
