When COVID-19 hit, Cantata Pacifica decided on 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 rehearsals via zoom and Jamulus and produced several culminating videos throughout the seasons. In the process, we've welcomed many music lovers from around the globe!
These video projects require a large commitment of time from our production team and the increased costs are in no relation to the modest dues that were raised through participation. Your generous donations will help close the gap, prepare us to meet in person again soon, and be most appreciated.
