"May your life be filled with song and may your friends all sing along.
May your heart be true and strong and may you always have a song."
-Sally K. Albrecht and Jay Althouse
The Cantanti Singers have been selected to perform at the 2025 National ACDA Conference in Dallas, TX.
The Cantanti Singers have received the prestigious invitation to perform at the 2025 American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Conference to be held in Dallas, Texas in March. The 70 member high school age group, is one of 10 Angelica Cantanti Youth Choir ensembles that rehearse once a week in Bloomington. The selection process is highly competitive with hundreds of applications. The chorus auditioned by submitting audio recordings from the past three years that were reviewed and judged by a highly respected peer jury panel. Invited performing choirs are recognized for quality and the consistent strength of their programs.
“In the choral world, we’ve made it to the Super Bowl and we couldn’t be more honored and thrilled for our singers to represent Minnesota and perform for a large audience of choral directors, educators and composers from all over the world.” said Executive Director, Audrey Riddle.
The Angelica Cantanti Singers will perform two 25-minute solo concerts on Wednesday, March 19, at 10:00am at Winspear Opera House and 1:45pm at Meyerson Symphony Center in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas.
