From Jennifer Portele: On Sunday, June 23 the Cantabile Youth Choir Ensemble will travel back to Washington, D.C. for a second time in two years. The group is taking part again in the YouthCue National Youth Choir Festival. These students will join with youth from 12 other youth choirs from across the United States.
The group will rehearse each morning and will get to explore the capital's attractions in the afternoons and evenings. On Friday, June 28 the students from all over the country will join together to perform a concert with a professional orchestra in the National Cathedral.
The students, along with Jennifer Portele (Cantabile Director) and Karen Gossett (Accompanist), have been practicing the music since last September. The repertoire is very challenging and is a combination of classic, traditional, and contemporary choral anthems.
Cantabile looks forward to hearing it all come together after nearly 10 months of preparation. The trip last year was an amazing experience for all, and Cantabile looks forward to sharing pictures and stories of their time in Washington, D.C. Watch Arborlawn's Facebook page this week, and look for images on the screens in the Commons and Sanctuary on Sunday, June 30.
