Cantus

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Joan Sweeney and Jim Godbout. 

The Minnesotan low-voice ensemble Cantus has developed a national following for their trademark warmth and blend, innovative programming, and riveting performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Cantus explores the challenges of connecting in our modern age by pairing works by Sibelius and Saint-Saëns with compositions from contemporary luminaries like Andrea Ramsey, David Lang, and Christopher H. Harris.
