A Message from Artistic Director James Marck
Kantorei is Rockford's choir. In August of last year, I began a dialogue with Rockford, seeking insight into how best to strengthen the bond between the city and her choir. When it comes to community support, there are some things that never change: Recruitment is a process, not an event. Music education is performance-based. Today's boys are tomorrow's citizens. Trying to juggle your children's schedules is like herding cats.
In addition to being reminded of what does not change, I was enlighted by the new things I learned from this ten-month conversation with the community. I learned that in Rockford, there is a demand for choral music education and pedagogy, such as offered in Kantorei's 53-year tradition, for not only boys, but also their sisters. That is why it is with great excitement that I announce that the 2017-18 program year will feature the launch of Kantorei's newest venture: The Singing Girls of Rockford. We invite all students, boys and girls, to audition to become part of Kantorei, bringing Rockford a tradition of choral excellence and music education for over 50 years.
