Schola Cantorum 
Hi,
I sang with Schola Cantorum briefly before the Chch earthquakes and relocated to Canberra in Australia to escape the ongoing shakes. My husband and I came back to Canterbury a year ago when the homesickness became greater than the fear of earthquakes! While in Canberra I sang with I Progetti, a small chamber choir specialising in Renaissance and Baroque music. I miss the choral experience, love early music and if Schola Cantorum has need of an extra soprano then I’d love to put my name forward.
