Happy Holidays to all our Canticus members, audience and sponsors!
It goes without saying that this has been the most disappointing and frustrating year, perhaps ever in the memories of our Canticus family. We simply have not been able to do what we love: sing! While we deal with this situation as best we can, we would like to share our performance of Handel's Messiah from last December 15th at Englewood Christian Church in Yakima.
We are not letting this get us down and we WILL BE BACK as soon as it is safe for our members to gather and rehearse. We are already planning a return concert entitled "Songs of Hope." It will be our first concert back and obviously we don't know the date yet but we have every confidence that Canticus will return.
In the meantime: Please be safe; wear your mask for others if not yourself, and isolate so we can all get back to what we love sooner. Please enjoy the performance of Messiah!
All the best to you and yours!

2020 - 2021 TENTATIVE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
Due to the Covid-19 crisis, Canticus Vocal Ensemble will not meet nor perform during the Fall of 2020 nor in the Spring of 2021. We hope to be able to meet in the Fall of 2021 and present a Holiday Concert in December of 2012. The theme of our first concert back will be "Songs of Hope" no matter when it happens, and it WILL happen! At this point, we want to make sure the situation is completely safe for all our members and our audience alike. So be safe,...wear your mask...stay away from each other and please do it so we can get back to what we love: SINGING!
