"Before joining the choir, a few weeks after its inception, my experience of singing as a hobby had been singing a cappella four part harmony. The choir is a very different structure. We sing a variety of music and for me, up till now, the most exciting has been performing Adiemus by Karl Jenkins with orchestra! 

We have an accompanist, Laura, who is brilliant and Zoë, our Musical Director, is exceptional in every way. I feel privileged to be involved with such talented people."

"I have always wanted to sing but thought I could not. By chance in the spring of 2004 I heard about a ladies choir starting in Horsham.

Having made enquiries and been told to just come along - I did and I spent the most fun and enjoyable hour and a half that I could remember for a long, long time."

"Massed voices produced a powerful and glorious afternoon's entertainment .....The moving performances of these songs ..was a tribute to the power of voice......The ladies' recital was hauntingly beautiful. Those singing in the Drill Hall did full justice to the composer's aspirations for the piece - an extremely inspiring entertainment......"

“Wow! What an excellent website. I have to say that joining Cantatrice has been a wonderful experience. The ladies are all passionate about the music, yet the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and enjoyable.

I'm so sorry that I will be moving away from the area soon - Cantatrice will be a hard act to follow. I will miss your enthusiasm, exuberance and consummate directing skill, Zoe. Thank you so much for the hard work that you put into all your choirs.”

“I think the new web site is really good, funny, informative and interesting to read.  Would definitely make me wish to join the choir. It shows us all having a good time (which we do).”

"I have been in the Steyning choir since its inception, and it just grows and grows and gets better and better. I enjoy every single minute of our Friday morning rehearsals, the enthusiasm of both Zoe and Laura are a sheer joy and they rub off on all of us. I do not read music, so I have my own quaint way of learning the varied songs we sing (don't look in my black music folder!!). Our concerts are a great way of showing off all we have learned, and hopefully they are as good for you as they are for us."
