With this spring's performance, the Women of Cantilena share an uplifting variety of songs with music listeners of any age.

“The program explores the idea that as we work within ourselves to become confident in our abilities, committed to our ideals, and loving of those around us, our efforts “ripple” outward to the community that surrounds us. As we work to strengthen ourselves, we are working to strengthen our community. This community might be our family, our local area, a shared interest or even the wider global community. In each of these, we find a place and way to make a positive impact.”  - Elinor Armsby, Cantilena Artistic Director
