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 concert on Saturday 22 November 2025 was great fun and, although the number of singers was quite small, we welcomed over 60 in the audience who all seemed to enjoy both our mixed programme, and the performances by our youngsters Amelia Li (8) and Chaden Ng (7). Violinist Amelia played Monti’s Czardas and Massenet’s Méditation from Thaïs, while pianist Chaden gave us Debussy’s Dr Gradus ad Parnassum. We also enjoyed magnificent tenor, Jason Tsang, singing Dein ist mein ganzes Herz – (You Are My Heart’s Delight) by Franz Léhar Our own contributions were Regina Coeli (Giorza), I Was Glad (Parry), Insanae et Vanae Curae (Haydn), Gaudete (Anon) and Karl Jenkins’ Choral Suite version of The Armed Man. A happy evening!
