		Chamber Ensemble The Chamber Ensemble, founded in 1987, is the original choral ensemble of Cantare Con Vivo. Beginning with 24 singers, it expanded to 40 singers by Fall 1989. Ten years later, when Cantare Con Vivo reorganized forming a symphonic chorale and a music outreach program for youth, the original choir was reduced to 24 singers and renamed the Chamber Ensemble. Today the Chamber Ensemble exemplifies Cantare’s rigorous standard of high musicianship. These singers perform a stunning variety of sacred and secular choral works, a cappella or accompanied, covering the gamut of choral composition. With over 800 choral compositions performed, they continue to seek out the latest offerings from a new breed of American and international composers in addition to widening their base with those identified musical geniuses of the past. (See repertoire on the right) The Chamber Ensemble has performed at the Western Division Regional Convention of the American Choral Directors Association and has released three CD recordings.
