“To perform choral chamber works at the highest level.”
Scott R. Peterson
Artistic Director
Dear Canticus Vocal Ensemble friends:
As the Covid-19 crisis continues to prevent most musical arts groups from gathering to rehearse or perform, we in Canticus Vocal Ensemble wish all of our singers, board and audience members the best in terms of staying healthy. We simply must be patient as we wait for a cure or preventative measures which will allow us to return to the art we love. We look forward to the day when we will again be able to perform. Our return concert will be entitled, "Songs of Hope," whenever that may be.
