Dear Friends,

Come see Cantico Singers in our concert next Friday, December 13, at 7pm at First Congregational Church in downtown Portland. Use my discount code (LMAUERY) to get 20% off general admission tickets. After the discount, they're only $10, which is a steal of a deal for a night out with family, friends, or your honey. Rehearsals are sounding really, really good -- I even get to sing a solo! (Short one, but it counts.)

Hope to see you there,

Lauren Mauery

About Cántico Singers
Cántico Singers was formed in Portland, Oregon in 2008 by several musicians who were looking for a musical outlet that combined a high level of performance with a workable rehearsal schedule. Now in its sixth year, the ensemble is a 23-voice choir that features many former members of a variety of BYU choirs, including BYU Singers, Concert Choir, Men's Chorus, and Women's Chorus. The group is lead by Karen Porter, who earned her bachelor's (2000) and master's degrees (2002) in Piano Performance from Brigham Young University, where she sang in and was an accompanist for BYU Women's Chorus. Karen also studied choral conducting at the graduate level with Dr. Ronald Staheli. We sing a wide-ranging mix of repertoire including classical, jazz, Broadway and folk music. Drawing on the diverse musical backgrounds of its singers, in addition to choral repertoire, concerts highlight small groupings from the ensemble in a variety of styles--from jazz to acoustic folk rock.
