Cantores Olicanae

We are a mixed-voice choir of approximately fifty singers, established in the 1970s in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Each season the choir performs four or five concerts, with programmes including major choral works, popular Christmas music and light-hearted, jazzy summer entertainment.

We rehearse and perform under the expert guidance of our Musical Director, James Savage-Hanford, with orchestral or organ/keyboard accompaniment and with invited soloists.

Our concerts are held in a range of venues in and around Ilkley and we welcome amateur singers from all surrounding areas. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings at St Margaret’s Church, Queen’s Road, Ilkley, 7.30 – 9.30pm.
