Our 45th Anniversary Season

From candlelit a cappella concerts and our annual Community Messiah Sing-Along to Bach's Christmas Oratorio and Verdi's Requiem, we invite you to join us for our 45th Anniversary Season.

Oktoberfest Fundraiser

There are many ways to support I Cantori. This one involves beer. Join us for an afternoon of live music, authentic German food, beer and wine, a silent auction, and a Fund-a-Need Auction that just might make you yodel, all in support of I Cantori's 45th Anniversary Season.

Saturday, October 24 · 4–7 PM · Carmel Woman's Club

Dirndls, lederhosen and questionable German accents welcome.

Fall Concerts

Community Messiah Sing-Along

There's nothing quite like singing Handel's Messiah with hundreds of voices filling the hall, accompanied by a chamber orchestra. Bring your own score, or borrow one at the door, and settle in for an afternoon of music, good company, mulled wine, hot cocoa and cookies. Whether it's your first Messiah or a tradition you've enjoyed for years, everyone is welcome.

Sunday, November 29 · 3:00 PM · Merrill Hall, Asilomar Conference Grounds
