Canto de Sorensen
Canto de Sorensen is a 2nd-5th grade audition singing group dedicated to working diligently on learning the elements of choral singing; the dynamics of singing, becoming mindful of etiquette in a performance group, and the life-long enjoyment of choral music. We also learn the distinct role that music plays in bringing stories to life through song, through our countenance, and singing from the heart.
In Canto de Sorensen, and in all choirs, every member has a leading part. Music does not care how tall you are, how smart you are, if you can sing high or low, or if you can read fast or slow. It cares how passionate you are to deliver songs for meaning, for fun, and for making an impact, and of course, learning the right notes is always encouraged!
My musical background consists mainly of a love for choral music and participating in many choirs myself. I currently sing with the North Idaho College Cardinal Chorale and actually have former Canto members singing with me in this choir. Makes me feel a little old, but also makes me realize the power of the arts as they are so sustaining. I play the piano, am learning the banjo, and play about 10 chords on the guitar. I am fortunate to combine my love for academics and my love for choral music here at Sorensen.
Happy singing!
