KANTOREI, The Singing Boys of Rockford, IL will perform in concert at 7:30pm on Friday, June 8, 2007 at Saint Louis Abbey Church, 500 Mason Rd., Creve Coeur, MO 63141.
Acclaimed for their musical discipline, maturity, sensitivity, and well-rounded programming, KANTOREI represents the finest tradition of boys’choirs. Under the musical direction of Joel Ross and Diane Rodway Knight, the choir will present a varied program of choral masterworks including selections by Fauré, Rachmaninoff, and Voullaire. Music of the Czech Republic, Scotland, France, Brazil, and Japan will add to the international flavor of the program. KANTOREI will also premiere a newly-commissioned work Where There is Light in the Soul, with text based on Chinese proverbs. As a tribute to our American musical heritage, the boys will also sing arrangements of folk hymns, spirituals, and audience favorites from stage, screen, and yesteryear.

Celebrating 43 years, KANTOREI continues to offer boys and young men age 7-18 an outstanding musical education while providing opportunities for personal growth. The choir has delighted audiences nationally and throughout the world, including tours of Scandinavia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Canada, Japan, and Brazil. The choir has been invited four times to appear at the Alliance Festival for Men and Boys Singing, a prestigious choral festival held at St. John’s University in Minnesota. KANTOREI has released five critically-acclaimed compact disc recordings showcasing the boys talents in a diverse repertoire.
