Kantabile Chamber Choir, Taree's premier community choir was formed in 2000 with Catherine Jeffree as choral director, 11 choristers from diverse backgrounds and with various educational qualifications (not all of them musical) and with accompanist Mrs Pam Archer OAM.
The aim of Kantabile's formation, was to sing together for the joy and love of choral singing and to impart that joy and love to as many people who would listen.
Fourteen years on and Kantabile has grown to 34 choristers, Catherine Jeffree is still the director and the accompanist has changed five times.
Kantabile continues singing for the joy and love of choral singing that brought them together initially and in recent years has given stand alone performances and been involved in a variety of performances, attracting a strong following.
