“Singing with CantaLyrica is one of those rare artistic experiences where music-making transcends the norm and becomes a celebration purely from the heart. Whether it be Gilbert and Sullivan, Carmen, Dvorak, or some of the most simple and moving spirituals, the singers of CantaLyrica show what it means to be true singers and lovers of music.”

“It is always a joy to sing with CantaLyrica. The choir members are always very well prepared and excellently led by the incomparable Josh Greene.”

“I have appeared with many tri-state area chamber choirs and I can say, without hesitation, that CantaLyrica, under the able hands of conductor Joshua Greene, sings with the finest precision, the utmost musicality and beauty of choral singing. There is not a group more serious about the work at hand; yet there is an ease and camaraderie among the singers that makes working with them a delight. To hear them is a distinct privilege and a treat!”

Debussy's La Damoiselle Elue with CantaLyrica was a wonderfully rich and

“It is always a pleasure to sing with
and hear CantaLyrica as conducted by Joshua Greene. His thorough understanding
and deep passion for the music are both evident and appreciated by performer and
audience. He has such a warm and generous musicality that singers can only
respond in kind, producing a most satisfying experience. CantaLyrica sings with
a lovely blend and warmth in delicate passages as well as joyful outbursts.

“My experience working with Joshua Greene and CantaLyrica was one of great musical gratification. CantaLyrica has a wonderful sound and is certainly as inspired as I was working with its conductor, Joshua Greene. Congratulations on such splendid work!”
