TH E CANTATA SINGERS is a co ncert choir f ounded in 1964 by Robert Finster and dedicated to the perform­ ance of sacred chora l literature. Th e amateur chorus is uniq ue in its f unction and in the compos ition of its personnel. Its members represent nearly every major Chl"istian body, thus brin ging to the g roup a breadth not f ound in individual parish choirs a nd other cho­ ruses, and giving to the community a concrete expres­ sion of ecumenica l co operation and understanding.
