Together, we sing with purpose — and have a lot of fun along the way!
Lagos Canta is a newly founded mixed choir (SATB) on a mission to grow into a strong 4-part ensemble. We’re building a unique sound through vocal technique, harmony, and a vibrant sense of community.
What We Sing
Our diverse repertoire spans Baroque to Jazz, Pop, and Portuguese music, sung in multiple languages. We believe in blending the challenge of classical music with the joy and accessibility of lighter genres — creating beauty that connects deeply with our audience.
Our Choir Culture
- A warm, social, and supportive space
- Emphasis on technique, harmony, solfège, and expression
- No music reading required — study materials provided
- Individual practice between rehearsals is expected
- A joyful balance of commitment, creativity, and connection
