Belle Canto was the first choir formed in the Cantilon family and remains its only adult ensemble. In touring and recording, Belle Canto has distinguished itself as one of today’s foremost women’s ensembles. Originally a group of university students, the choir now consists of amateur singers from all walks of life. Belle Canto particularly enjoys exploring the contemporary repertoire of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia and has recorded much of this repertoire on their disc, Invocation.  less

Two points of note: First, the composition grew out of the feeling that all 4 voices should start on the same note, grow outwards and then come back to that same note at the end. The rest just seemed to evolve on its own, seemingly guided by some external force. Second, unusually, I have asked choirs (where possible) to sing this without any breaks, via staggered breathing, as I wanted to highlight the deep conviction underlying the words of the Psalm, as one single thread of deep belief that moves from beginning to end. Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (Choraltracks.com) for recording "Psalm 23." As always, comments are welcomed. Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info. I would like to acknowledge the a cappella choir that I sing in, The Stairwell Carollers, and our director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration these past 26 years. I would also like to thank my friends in our "Ad ...    less

Tecrübeli koristlerden oluşan topluluk; Borusan Müzik Evi, Aya İrini Müzesi, Avusturya Kültür Ofisi gibi İstanbul’un prestijli mekânlarının yanı sıra, birçok koro festivalinde ve Türkiye’nin farklı şehirlerinde performans gösterdi. Rezonans, gerek koro şefliği atölyelerinde, gerekse uluslararası projelerde Simon Carrington, Volker Hempfling, Klaus-Jürgen Etzold, Qin Huang, Nigel Short, Brady Allred ve Paulo Lourenço gibi konuk şeflerle çalışma imkânı buldu. 'Geçsin Günler' albümünde İncesaz'a eşlik etti. Rezonans, çağdaş dönem eserleri üzerinde yoğunlaşan bir repertuvara sahip. Özellikle Türk bestecilerin 20. ve 21. yüzyıl eserleri, koro için önemli bir odak noktası oluşturuyor. Besteciler Hasan Uçarsu ve Özkan Manav’ın dünya prömiyerlerini gerçekleştiren ekip, Kamran İnce’n...    less

We believe that music can positively impact and enrich lives. Our performances reflect this belief in their use of such seasonal themes as ‘freedom’ and ‘healing’ and ‘our mother earth;’ and in presentation of mostly new music in a way that is accessible. Our educational programs reflect this belief by training emerging professionals, planting seeds within young people for a lifetime of music involvement, and growing the skills of our own members. Our commitment to new Choral music reflects this belief even beyond our substantial performance commitment through Project Encore™ and our Featured Composer Program. Substantially more than a singing group, SCH is unique in many respects that reflects both a breadth and a depth that bespeaks the full meaning of a ‘schola’ (‘school’).  less
