Mixed Choral Chorus

Based in Lenox, MA

The Cantilena Chamber Choir, now in its 16th season, is comprised of 24 dedicated singers of the highest caliber who possess vocal training, excellent sight-reading skills and considerable choral experience. Its accolades include a multi-year Cultural Portfolio grant award from the Massachusetts Cultural Council for its annual Martin Luther King program and two Choral Arts New England Alfred Nash Patterson awards for innovative programming. Special guests have included actors Jonathan Epstein, Allyn Burrows, Annette Miller, Benjamin Luxon, Tina Packer and author Geraldine Brooks among others. Collaborations have been with Baltimore's Urban Choral Arts Society, Cambridge Concentus, Aston Magna, Tanglewood, the Empire Brass, and six Berkshire public schools. It has appeared at Tanglewood, the Mahaiwe and Colonial Theaters, Hancock Shaker Village, The Mount, The Berkshire Museum, Hevreh, and WGBY in Springfield. This September the choir repeated May 2018's critically acclaimed showing of Le Passion de Jeanne D'Arc with the original 1928 score for choir, organ and orchestra performed live at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
