The mission of the Cantate Usquam Pilgrim Singers is to bring music to churches that don’t have choirs or the resources to sing at their regular services. Cantate Usquam, founded in December 2024, literally means “sing anywhere,” and we are a volunteer choir based in Pittsburgh that charges nothing. From February to June we sang at the following churches: St. Peter’s, Blairsville; St. Bartholomew’s/Trinity, Scottdale; St. Matthew’s, Homestead; St. Barnabas, Brackenridge; St. Peter’s, Brentwood; and Cross Creek Presbyterian, Burgettstown.
The Cantate Usquam Pilgrim Singers:
- want to sing WITH you and share the joy that music brings to worship
- are led by musicians who have experience leading congregations and choirs in singing and can provide keyboard accompaniment
- are non-denominational
- work with your church to sing hymns and music from your tradition
- will sing choir pieces for a prelude, offertory, and/or communion
- love to sing a capella but can also use available instruments
- are scheduling dates beginning in September 2025, but NOT for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holy Week or Easter services
- wear no robes and sing from within your congregation, not up front
For more information and/or to schedule a date, contact Michael Salmon (oriolefish@gmail.com / 904-718-7622) or Penny Anderson (penny_anderson@fastmail.fm / 412-310-9167)
