Testimonials

My husband and I were part of Canto Deo when it was beginning, but we moved out of state soon thereafter. When he died, I realized how much I missed singing. That void in my life influenced my decision to move back to the Denver area. There is such joy in singing with others who present music which glorifies God by its excellence as well as in its message. I am thankful for this privilege.

Offering the sacrifice of praise, as a member of Canto Deo, has been a conduit of Our Father’s love to me. During a crippling season of grief and transition, memorizing and singing the Words of Scripture soothed my soul and stirred forward momentum for my journey. I truly felt the Lord inhabiting the praises of His people. It is an adventure each season to welcome new voices, and sit among dear friends whose sound we know, love and trust.

Canto Deo is a very fun group of vocalists that love using music to praise God and bless the listeners. The rehearsals were very well run and efficient and the choir learned their parts quickly. The concerts were held at convenient venues, were well attended, and very enjoyable to perform. I’m looking forward to the next season.
