Locations and Charities
Many of our concerts take place in medieval churches, such as St. Mary's, Frensham, pictured here
Where we've sung and why
From its inception, Cantique has performed to raise money for charities and other good causes.
Here is a simple list of the places where we have performed, and the causes we have supported. Most, but not all, of our concerts have taken place in churches, often for the upkeep and improvements of ancient (including medieval) buildings.
We are proud of what we have done, and we are always glad to hear from anyone who would like the choir to perform in aid of their charitable activities.
