Cypress Creek FACE and CANTARE Houston present Cantare Christmas (at the Centrum) Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 3 PM.

Passion, Excellence, Spirit, Joy......are a few of the words that describe choral performances by CANTARE Houston over the past seven years. Under the direction of founder/artistic director Kevin Riehle (pictured), CANTARE seeks to create a community of people changed by the power of great choral music. Its goal is to enrich the cultural landscape of Houston with artistically sensitive and profound interpretations of choral music from every era and a variety of cultures and countries.

CANTARE performs in some of Houston's most remarkable venues such as the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Rothko Chapel, Zilkha Hall, the Co-cathedral of the Sacred Heart, St. Paul's United Methodist Church, the University of St. Thomas St. Basil's Chapel, and Houston Baptist University's Morris Cultural Arts Center. The Choir's annual Christmas Concerts at the Museum of Fine Arts are one of the "Must Have" tickets of the holiday season.

Their eighth season features the choir in exciting and imaginative programming with stunning new music as well as exquisite performances of time-honored classics. This season also welcomes the long awaited return of the walking concerts through the galleries of the MFAH.

This program will feature Christmas favorites.
