I Cantori Choir Member, Singer-Songwriter, Award Winning Children's Recording Artist

It's a rare thing, to be in the presence of a great musician, a great technician and artist. I feel privileged to have sung in Sal's beautiful choir, I Cantori di Carmel. It was something I had wanted to do since I moved to Monterey, but couldn't quite fit it into my schedule of singing with bands, then singing and touring with my children's music performances. It was a promise I made to myself, "Be sure to sing in Sal Ferrantelli's choir." So I did. My stint was short as a first alto, but it was glorious to be directed by him, as he created the details and nuances of Brahms, Bach, Whitacre, Lauridsen, Von Bingen...Sal's amazing selections of material and his careful layering of detail over the rehearsal period was extraordinary. I am inspired.
