I Cantori di Carmel is a choir of 50-60 experienced singers who perform classical choral music for the Monterey Peninsula/Salinas Valley community. It strives for artistic excellence, the exploration of rich and diverse repertoire, and the artistic growth of its members – a mission realized in concerts that showcase the chorus’s broad vision and technical skill.
We believe in the value of classical choral/orchestral music, and we want to share this extraordinary tradition with parts of our county that rarely get to experience it live. In December of 2024, with a free concert in King City, I Cantori will inaugurate what we hope will grow into a sustained outreach program directed to under-served communities of South Monterey County. The core of that outreach will be free concerts, which will become an annual event for us.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of experiencing the remarkable performances of Carmel's I Cantori choir several times, and they are nothing short of extraordinary. This isn't just a group of people who can sing - they are devoted to music. Their voices bring both new and classical compositions to life in a way that is as meaningful as it is beautiful. On top of the magical performances, their enthusiasm for sharing the joy of music with the local community and their support of budding performers really underlines their commitment. I Cantori is a standout in the choral scene, demonstrating what it means to combine talent, passion, and a real connection to music. They make every performance feel like a unique experience. We can't wait to hear them again.
