For the past 22 years Cantar Community Choir has been operating in Orange for Women of all ages who love to sing. For the last 10 years one of the fabulous Music Directors has been Gabe Rae. Gabe is a very talented singer who recentiy had the role of the Witch in the local production of Into the Woods. She believes it is now time to seek out other interests and activities like travel and perhaps more theatrical productions so will be leaving the position of choir director at the end of this year. We thank her for the time and effort she has put into Cantar to make it one of the leading choirs in the district.

Cantar is therefore looking for someone who might have the skills to join and lead this great group. The role of the Director is pivotal instructing, guiding and conducting so as to blend and balance the voices for the musical pieces selected. The choir has performed at a variety of community events and fundraising activities in Orange, Molong, Blayney and Millthorpe, Bathurst and Blackheath. A number of the events have been done in conjunction with the Orange Male Voice Choir who add an extra dimension to the sound.

Cantar always welcomes new members and rehearsal time is Monday evenings during school terms, 7.30pm until 9pm. The practice venue is the Church of Christ on Burrendong Way. The choir is a great way to meet new people who love to gather to sing, connect and let the power of music weave its mysterious magic so that in turn we can share that joy with our audiences.

Anyone interested in the position of Director, or just as a choir member, can contact Margaret Schwebel 0402 429 806 for further details.
