“To perform choral chamber works at the highest level.”
Scott R. Peterson
Artistic Director
To our Canticus Vocal Ensemble audience:
While the Covid-19 Virus is preventing us and you from enjoying and participating in live choral music performances, there is occasionally a bit of good news that come along. Canticus Vocal Ensemble is pleased to announce we have received a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission in the amount of $4,000.00. The grant is intended to provide support for arts groups that are feeling the financial pinch from the effects of the pandemic. We are grateful to ArtsWa and the support they have provided Canticus as well as many arts and performing groups. We encourage you to go to their website and read about the Washington State Arts Commission (link to the left of this page).
We look forward to returning to the performance stage when it becomes safe for us to do so! Stay healthy!
