Description
As one of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles, Cantus has come to prominence with its distinctive approach to creating music. Working without a conductor, the members of Cantus rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing to the entirety of the artistic process, creating programs that give voice to shared human experiences. As the StarTribune has written, “The main hallmark of the Cantus sound has always been sheer quality and an unbroken belief in the special way that vocal music has of warming and invigorating the human spirit.”
PROGRAM
LAND THAT I LOVE
The “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is widely known for its trademark warmth, innovative programming and riveting performances. In commemoration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, Cantus offers a concert program honoring our diverse American heritage with captivating music by composers carrying their own migration stories. From Saunder Choi and Chen Yi to Gloria Estefan, Bob Marley and Jan Sibelius, these artists are as wide-ranging and multi-faceted as the music they create. Join Cantus for an uplifting program filled with pride and passion for our shared American identity.
