About Cántico Portland Chamber Singers:

The Cántico Portland Chamber Singers is a small ensemble of top quality vocalists performing chamber music in a range of styles. While primarily classical, Cántico also sings jazz, traditional folk music, a cappella, ethnic, and religious music.

Most members of Cántico are professional-quality musicians who have chosen a family path over pursuing demanding musical careers. Cántico manages to attract these singers by holding fewer (but longer) rehearsals than most choirs, and allowing members to learn and master the music by doing significant personal study on their own schedules. The members hold a number of bachelors and masters degrees in music and music-related fields, and many have taught and performed music professionally.

Cántico is delighted to be able to bring together the great talent of so many incredible musicians who have so much to offer but would otherwise remain unheard and un-enjoyed by the public.
