Fall 2017 Cantala Repertoire

Our winter concert will feature a gorgeous piece from Benjamin Britten's A Boy is Born, called In The Bleak Midwinter which is stunningly beautiful and challenging. Also we will be learning Samuel Barbers' To be Sung on Water; a piece which after introduced never leaves your soul.
