Community Chorus

Based in Monterey, CA

I Cantori di Carmel is a volunteer chorus that seeks excellence in choral performance. Our programs include major choral works as well as lesser-known jewels of the choral repertoire.

I Cantori di Carmel (Our Italian name means: The Singers of Carmel) has been bringing choral classics to the Monterey Peninsula since 1981. We perform concerts twice annually, in the spring and fall, at the Carmel Mission Basilica and other venues. Approximately every three years we embark on a European concert tour where we have the opportunity to sing in magnificent cathedrals, churches, and concert halls. Often we coordinate with choirs in our host countries for shared performances.

Founded - 1981.   Auditioned.

Audition Policy - 1. Vocalizing: using mostly familiar exercises, to discover your comfortable and usable vocal range and what voice part should you sing.
2. Sight-reading: you will be asked to sight-read a selection of music.
3. Prepared song: you will be asked to sing a short song, a cappella, of your choosing.

Rehearsal Information - Wednesdays: Sectionals at 6:16pm, rehearsal from 7:00-9:30. Other days are added as concerts approach. Rehearsals run Jan-May and Aug-Dec.
