Specialisms

Cantiacorum is a friendly, fun choir. We focus on early songs, especially those from Medieval times!

Additional information

My name is Catherine/Cat and I love to sing!  More than that, I love to sing with others!

The community choir that I run in Kent is truly inclusive.  We focus on early music (sacred and secular songs) and aim to make the best sound that we can.  We learn using a range of methods, to suit all – there is no need to read music but for those that prefer ‘dots’, they are provided.  We have been singing together since 2014 and enjoy finding historic buildings where the acoustics and history enhance our enjoyment and the sound that we make.

I firmly believe that everyone has a voice and that singing together can be restorative, cathartic, inspiring and fun!  Learning ancient songs is particularly special and many members of the choir are drawn to this unique sound.

My choirs

Cantiacorum Community Choir
Description

Cantiacorum Community Choir is based in Canterbury.

We focus on early music (sacred and secular songs) and aim to make the best sound that we can.  We learn using a range of methods, to suit all – there is no need to read music but for those that prefer ‘dots’, they are provided.  We have been singing together since 2014 and enjoy finding historic buildings where the acoustics and history enhance our enjoyment and the sound that we make.  We have moved to a beautiful new rehearsal venue this year; Kingston Barn, just outside of Canterbury.  It has fabulous acoustics, lots of space, including parking and we are very happy to have found it!

Cantiacorum is a truly friendly and inclusive group, with no audition or membership fees.  Singers are invited to make a donation to cover the cost of venue hire etc., but financial hardship should not put anyone off joining us.

I firmly believe that everyone has a voice and that singing together can be restorative, cathartic, inspiring and fun!  Learning ancient songs is particularly special and many members of the choir are drawn to this unique sound.
