Cantabile invites skilled and expressive singers to audition for our upcoming season. If you thrive in an artistic, collaborative setting and want to bring rich choral music to life—this is your group!
Cantabile’s intentional programming includes challenging, contemporary music, commissions of new works, and performances of ambitious, traditional repertoire from around the world. Our programming offers a variety of choral genres from all time periods to educate, enlighten, and inspire both our audiences and our singers.
We are a chamber chorus of 25-30 singers with backgrounds ranging from recent graduates to retirees. Cantabile is known for emotionally resonant performances, adventurous programming, and cultural celebrations. Whether performing the premiere of StarSongs by Bruce Lazarus, or the delicate phrases of 16th century polyphony De los álamos vengo, madre by Juan Vásquez, we believe in connecting music to memory, place, and feeling.
We have singers who are music educators, are trained instrumentalists, and some who have studied voice privately. The majority have non-music careers and enjoy the pleasure of singing in an ensemble. In other words, we are just like your friends, neighbors, and family members.
Candidates may prepare a brief selection, whether a classical aria, a folk song, a choral excerpt, or even “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”; you can also expect to vocalize and sight sing. Kindly fill out the information form below and submit it to schedule your audition now!
Rehearsals begin September 2, 2026, and every Wednesday evening from 7:30-9:15 PM at Christ United Methodist Church, 485 Hoes Lane, Piscataway.
Our Winter 2026 programming will culminate in a performance on Saturday, December 5 at 7:30 PM. We also perform one or two outreach concerts annually and regularly collaborate with local choirs and orchestras.
Payment of dues is a condition for membership and participation in Cantabile activities. Dues include the season’s music scores, which become the property of the member. We will confidentially arrange a payment schedule, fee reduction, or waiver—no questions asked.
