If you enjoy singing and want to further develop your vocal
talent, now’s the perfect time to join the local choral group Cantare Chorale
of the Sierra Foothills. Cantare is excited to announce auditions for its spring
season.
The 70th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion is fast
approaching and Cantare members plan to honor the United States’ soldiers by
singing songs that acknowledge and remember those who have given their lives to
make the world more safe and secure.
Most of the group’s musical selections this season will
focus on American patriotism and love of country and will express thanks to the
“Greatest Generation” who served during World War II, as well as those who have
followed in their steps.
While lifting your voice in song can be a way to honor
others, it can also “boost your immune system and sense of well-being, while
reducing stress and pain and even prolong your life,” according to Suzanne
Hanser, chair of the music therapy department at Berklee College of Music.
“When we sing instead of speak, we have intonation, melody line and crescendo,
which gives us a broader vocabulary to express ourselves,” she said in a recent
SixWise.com article.
Cantare Chorale encourages and supports the enjoyment of
music in the lives of the citizens of El Dorado County. The group invites all
voices — soprano, alto, tenor and bass — to try out and support the development
of your vocal talents so that the entire community can benefit.
Auditions have begun and all who wish to try out are
encouraged to visit the Cantare Website to see how this non-profit group
engages with El Dorado County and Sierra Foothills communities.
