Cantamus

Are you an experienced singer who enjoys unaccompanied music from across the centuries and continents, both secular and sacred, singing in anything from 4 to 10 parts, be it in serious, sentimental, humorous or whimsical mood?

If your voice is alto, tenor, or bass, if you can read music well, and if you would enjoy the challenge of a very varied repertoire, you might wish to consider joining CANTAMUS, which is the Shipston-on-Stour-based a cappella group, directed by local musician and composer Richard Emms.

The choir meets on Tuesday evenings in Shipston, and undertakes concerts and liturgical performances across south Warwickshire and the North Cotswolds. Currently Cantamus is collaborating with South American folk band Caliche, has recently sung the Byrd Mass for 4 voices in a number of local churches, and continues to work closely with Three’s Company – professional actors – to bring music and words together in enjoyable performances.

To find out more, look at Cantamus’ website – www.cantamus.org.uk - and get in touch with Richard Emms on 01608 662163.
