Founded in 1988 by Axel Theimer, and now led by Adam Reinwald, Kantorei is one of the premier choral ensembles in Minnesota. With an integral focus on vocal health, Kantorei’s singers have set a standard in Minnesota for rich and effortless choral sound. Kantorei performs a wide range of mostly a cappella music from around the world. Most concerts include signature pieces complementing pieces from both well-known and emerging composers.

Kantorei performs primarily in Minnesota and shares recordings worldwide. Through its outreach programming, Kantorei invites audiences of all ages to share its pursuit of singing for a lifetime.

Want to sing with Kantorei? Fill out this form to inquire about Auditions?

We hold auditions in the Spring (usually mid-May) and the Fall (mid-August) to fill out a roster of singers for the coming season. Auditions are heard by Artistic Director Adam Reinwald and section leaders, and consist of singing a prepared selection a cappella, some basic musicianship checks, and a brief interview. Come sing with us!
