Welcome to Peninsula Cantare

PENINSULA CANTARE continues to make an important contribution to the choral music scene in the Bay Area since it was founded in 1968 at Cañada College. The enthusiastic, experienced choral singers come from throughout the mid-peninsula. The mission of CANTARE is dedicated to keeping alive the great choral masterpieces and exploring new music for the education and enjoyment of our audiences. Program repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to the Twenty-First century; from a capella literature to major works with orchestra. In addition to Bay Area concerts, the choir has traveled on six international tours. The most recent was to Brazil in 2007 with members of Masterworks Chorale.

Peninsula Cantare is excited to announce that Bill O'Neill has assumed the position of director on the retirement of Janice Gunderson.

 		Choir director, opera singer, director of youth theater productions — Bill brings a spectacular range of talents to his new position. He began his musical career at age five in the church choir directed by his father, and he has gone on to perform as a soloist in many theater productions, operas, and choral performances.
