Management of Cantabile Singers
The Constitution of
Cantabile provides for a Board of Management. At each Annual General Meeting usually held in August or September
the financial members of the choir
elect - from amongst themselves - a five-member Board of Management with
responsibility for the day-to-day operation and future development of the
choir. The Board of Management appoints a Director of Music and a Manager. Each
Board member is also allocated specific duties.
