Toronto Region - Music Readings 2009/2010

Once a month, CAMMAC singers and instrumentalists get together and "read through" a mass, cantata or opera (for choir and orchestra) under the direction of a professional choir director. Occasionally readings feature pieces for a capella choir (singers only) or symphonies or other orchestral works (instrumentalists only).

The read-throughs are not intended as rehearsals, and we do not perform for any formal audience, although listeners are welcome. Depending on the length of the work, most or all of the sections of the work are read through once or twice, in order to introduce the participants to the work.
