 "CANTORES CANTICLES", Toronto
Here's some GREAT MATT news!  A member of this women's choral group, met us at the Brampton Market last summer, and was so impressed with our students that she entered us as possible grant recipient from her choir. Every year year they provide a grant to one strong community music program. AND as it turns out we were chosen as the 2017/18 recipient!
The award will be presented at their Saturday April 21 concert and they encouraged us to bring our students to the performance. We felt our choral students and their parents should be the ones selected to attend, many of whom are string players as well.
