An Evening of Music to Warm Hearts 

Cantabile is a community-based performing arts and music education organization.  Founded in 1996 as a community choral organization, Cantabile has grown to offer a wide variety of musical education and performance opportunities for singers of all ages. Cantabile is dedicated to maintaining the highest standard of musical excellence – our programs have been recognized internationally for innovation and artistry, and our performance often attract sell-out audiences.

Spencer Evans is a renowned keyboardist, singer/entertainer and clarinetist. He performs extensively in Kingston with the Mourning Doves (Classic Jazz and Originals), Ghetto Express (Funk and Soul), the Goat Steppers (New Orleans Street Parade Jazz) and countless solo/duo/trio formats for tour boats, patios, festivals, and corporate and private events.

Melos Choir is an auditioned choir, active in Kingston for over 30 years. Most of our 32 singers are experienced choristers/musicians with a particular passion for early music across a range of periods and cultures. Our section leaders/soloists are voice teachers or cantors; have sung in groups like Tafelmusik, the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Canadian Opera Company; or are students/ recent grads of Queen's. The choir membership provides the backbone of our fundraising and Board of Directors. Thus we support Melos' active educational outreach in the community to instrumentalists and vocalists interested in period performance. We have a lot of fun and enjoy learning together with each outreach endeavour.
