Watership Cantabile is a small, friendly mixed voice choir. We like to tackle wide ranging music, both sacred and secular, from the Renaissance to the present day, accompanied and acapella, and from all parts of the world.

Rehearsing with Michael in St Mary's, Thatcham before a concert
Many musical styles are sung including settings of contemporary popular songs, madrigals, church anthems, early English music, traditional spirituals and Christmas carols. We have been invited to sing in churches, local music festivals, carol concerts and we have been on tour once in a while, most recently to Yorkshire where we sang in Wakefield Cathedral and at the Bronte church in Haworth.
To give you a flavour, here are some programs from previous concerts:
