Cantorelli was originally formed by a group of friends in Hebden Bridge 30 years ago and although some members have moved away and new members have joined, the group has always remained a small a capella chamber choir of eight singers. The group has also taken part in workshops with professional musicians and choral directors and performed throughout West Yorkshire. Cantorelli also gives several concerts throughout the year in aid of local charities.

The group enjoy singing music from the classical repertoire which includes mainly European choral music from the 15th century to the present day.
