When COVID 19 hit, Cantata Pacifica decided March 14, 2020 to stop meeting in person, but we didn't want to take a break. With no real production experience we decided to start virtual rehearsal and produce a video. We'd love to have you join us for our next virtual rehearsal and video project, from any place around the globe!
During COVID19, we rehearse via Zoom and create video projects. The projects require a large commitment of time for our production team. These increased costs unfortunately, this doesn't allow us to pay our Director and Accompanist at their usual rates. Donations will help close the gap.
