Cantabile Chamber Chorale

In 1997 Cantabile Chamber Chorale commissioned composer Scott Steidl to set the text from a Quaker prayer. We premiered, We Give Them Back to You Dear Lord, in Milltown, NJ in memory of Jean-Louis Hubert, a French chorister we met while performing with Ensemble Vocal des Quatres Saison in Rodez, France. Watch it now on our YouTube channel. William... Grant Still is often called the dean of African-American composers. Cantabile traveled to Italy in 2001 and performed this setting of religious sentiment to words by Verna Arvey, the wife of William Grant Still. Watch it on our YouTube channel. Thirty years ago, a group of 18 singers performed its first concert as the Cantabile Chamber Chorale under the direction of Rebecca Scott to provide the challenge of singing the repertoire for small ensemble with all its difficulties, nuances and special performing problems, while providing the love and good fellowship of joining with close friends in an artistic endeavor. Now three decades later, we are proud to celebrate Cantabiles 30th anniversary, a significant milestone in our history and a testament to our passion for performing new music. Grant funding has been provided by the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners through a grant award from the Middlesex County Cultural and Arts Trust Fund.Read More
