CANZONA WOMEN'S ENSEMBLE

San Luis Obispo's Premier Women's Choir
Celebrating Women's Voices

Canzona is a select auditioned choir of 22-26 female singers from throughout San Luis Obispo county. Now in its 13th season, Canzona presents two concerts each year, in November and March, featuring a wide variety of choral repertoire for women’s voices: from classical to modern, ethnic to traditional, and sacred to secular.
