Cantamus Reigate News

Welcome to Cantamus Reigate’s website!  Here you can find out all about this friendly, mixed-voice (SATB) choir, how it operates, its forthcoming events and how you can take part.

Our Mozart Requiem concert went very well and, in addition to our record-sized choir, we were delighted to find we were performing to a record-sized audience of more than 115! Our young, talented musicians, Florence Eaglestone (flute/piccolo) and Ellie Brown (soprano), entertained and moved us with their artistry and musicianship that belied their youth. Members of the Ashford Baroque Ensemble joined us for the Mozart (and their brass and timps for the Stanford, Coelos Ascendit Hodie) and, between us, we made a joyful noise! Thanks to everyone who mucked in to make the whole thing work. And I’m delighted to report that we raised an amazing £1408.50 for Christian Family Concern!

Next Event

Planning will start soon for a concert in the spring or early summer. Works under consideration include the Rutter Requiem – in my opinion, the best of his larger pieces – and Lauridsen’s “Sure on this Shining Night”. I’m sure (see what I did there?!) that some more talented youngsters will also come and share our platform. Watch this space for news of a date and venue.
