WELCOME TO CANTATE CHOIR
The Cantate Choir is a local amenity choir based in the Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells areas. We perform a wide repertoire of well known and new pieces from across the centuries.
SERENADE TO MUSIC – Autumn 2021
We are delighted to be back rehearsing for this Autumn. It has been a challenging 18 months being unable to gather, sing and plan for concerts since we had to postpone our Spring 2020 concert so many months ago. We are now very excited to be able to rehearse again and have an exciting series of concerts lined up.
We are planning our first welcome back concert for 2021 on 13th November at St Martin’s Church, Brasted at 19.30.
We have missed singing so very much that our first programme is a collection of our favourite pieces which we have not been able to perform for a while. Our concert Serenade to Music is a celebration of music and includes works by Handel, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Parry, Vaughan Williams, Britten and Stanford. We do hope you will join us for our reunion.
Director of Music Robin Walker will conduct and Ian Shaw will join us on the organ.

Under Robin Walker’s leadership, the choir has grown in stature, achieving standards of which its members are justly proud. In 2014 we were particularly delighted to win Top Choir Kent. The choir’s desire to reach new levels of excellence is driven by the warm support of its loyal and growing audience. We thank you for this and very much hope that you will continue to enjoy our concerts.
