Cantabile Choir

Music plays a vital role in student learning at the International School of Florence, not only does music inspire and uplift spirits, but it allows a medium through which students communicate their emotions and express their feelings.  Ms. Tanja Kustrin, established the ISF Cantabile choir in September 2018 as a way to provide an opportunity for upper elementary and middle school students to develop their singing skills. The 40 singers of the ISF Cantabile Choir made their debut performance at a Gala charity dinner for the  Meyer Children’s hospital at Villa Castelletti 2023.
