Season Preview - August 25th

Join the people of Cantemus on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2025, at 7:15 p.m., at First Church in Wenham, 1 Arbor Street, Wenham, for our annual Season Preview. Come and discover the wonderful music we’ll be performing during the upcoming concert season, under the leadership of Artistic Director Jason Iannuzzi. We will begin at 7:15 pm and end around 9:00.

All are welcome to this free event. Whether you want to pick up a musical score and sing some of the season’s music with us, or just relax and listen to the chorus take our first steps toward building great performances, it’s always a fun evening, and we’d love to see you there! Parking is available in front of the church, along Arbor Street, and across Bay Road in the Town Hall parking lot.
