What is the difference between cantor and rabbi?

No, a cantor is a person who is trained to chant prayers and Torah in Judaism. He cannot perform wedding ceremonies, etc as a cantor. A Cantor or Hazzan is invested clergy. He or she has a master's degree as studied Jewish ritual, law and liturgy. Additionally they are professional, skilled musicians who have learned the rich and extensive skill and history of Hazzanut. The is NOTHING a rabbi can that an invested (Ordained degreed) cantor cannot. This included weddings, funeral, bris, etc. The original poster may have been confused with the cantorial soloist. This is a person who have a very good voice perhaps may know Hebrew and may or may not be Jewish who chants parts of the service. A cantor is a part of Jewish clergy and can have leadership role in a synagogue.
