Arts in the Cathedral is pleased to present Canterra Musica, the most advanced treble choir of Oberlin Choristers, directed by Jennifer Call, Oberlin Choristers’ Artistic Director. This free concert will take place this Sunday, June 5, at 3:30 p.m. at Church of the Saviour in Cleveland Heights. A freewill offering will be accepted. A reception will follow the concert. Canterra Musica’s summer tour repertoire includes Purcell's Sound the Trumpet, Brumfield’s No Time, and features Gwyneth Walker's The Gift to Sing, a work which the Choristers recently commissioned. This set will also be performed before the Manhattan Concert Productions Children's Choir Festival Choir at Carnegie Hall in June. 

Canterra Musica, comprised of auditioned singers in grades 7-12, has traveled each year since 1995. The choir has sung in world-class venues including the Sydney Opera House, Australia, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Ireland and Chartres Cathedral, France. The singers have also participated in festivals, honor choirs, and in collaboration with Oberlin College Opera Theatre, Cleveland Opera, Oberlin Summer Theatre Festival, and most recently as the guest choir for the world tour of Video Games Live.

Founded in 1991, Oberlin Choristers serves the youth of Northeast Ohio offering an exceptional choral education through engaging rehearsals, excellence in performance, and transformative traveling experiences. Singers in grades K-12 are taught in five separate ensembles by master teachers.

Prior to her appointment as Artistic Director in 2011, she spent over a decade as music educator for all ages in public schools throughout Northeast Ohio. Her focused work in teaching the adolescent changing voice, led to the creation of the Changing Voice Institute held yearly at Oberlin Conservatory. She has been requested as guest lecturer, clinician and guest conductor at universities and honor choirs around the nation.

Mrs. Call holds degrees from Ohio State University and University of Akron.
