Cantilena, a women’s chorale, is an ensemble of approximately 36 singers, dedicated to performing music written for the treble voice. Our challenging and diverse repertoire spans the centuries and includes works in many different languages and musical forms. We perform new works by contemporary composers, emphasizing works by women and themes which probe social, cultural, and environmental issues. We strive to introduce both our members and our audience to works they are unlikely to encounter in other forums, with an emphasis on music composed specifically for women’s voices.

Cantilena welcomes and celebrates all individual identities in all of our activities and operations.
