CORO CANTABILE MINISTRIES INC.

Manila, Philippines

Dear Ministry Partner,

Greetings of love and peace!

Coro Cantabile, an Italian phrase meaning “a choir that sings smoothly and beautifully” is the
choral group of Coro Cantabile Ministries, Inc. established in 2002 — a non-stock, non-profit
organization that envisions to be the excellent Filipino choral group that touches lives. It is
composed of Christians from different walks of life, churches, and denominations who are
united by their passion to make excellent music for the glory of the Master Musician.

This year, Coro Cantabile will host the 18th Coro Cantabile Et Al Festival with the theme
"HYMN FOR HIM", a celebration of Gospel hymns from then and now. We will have the
pleasure to sing hymns from different generations, involving both the choirs and the
congregation.

With this, we are honored to invite your choir to join this year’s Coro Et Al Festival on the 8th of
October 2023 at The Metropolitan Theatre. It would be our great joy to have your choir in this
annual event!

Looking forward to your response and we are excited to sing with you soon!

Yours truly,

Mr. Eleazar J. Tawatan Jr.
