Cantabile Choirs of Kingston

Since 1996 the Cantabile Choirs of Kingston, under the leadership of Dr. Mark Sirett, have thrilled local and regional audiences in performances of a diverse range of choral repertoire from Canada and around the world at an unrivalled standard of performance.

Over the years, Cantabile has grown to include seven choirs and over 250 voices. From the beginning, Cantabile has provided musical education for choristers and audiences through this high standard of performance and quality choral literature.

Cantabile’s choral season of five themed concerts, which often include invited guests of national and international acclaim, attracts a sell-out audience in our performance home, Sydenham Street United Church. Cantabile launched its 17th season, “Libera!”, in the fall of 2012.
