About the Show
The 鈥渆ngaging鈥� (New Yorker) men鈥檚 vocal ensemble Cantus is widely known for its trademark warmth and blend, innovative
programming and engaging performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the
21st century. The Washington Post has hailed the Cantus sound as having both 鈥渆xalting finesse鈥� and 鈥渆xpressive power鈥�
and refers to the 鈥渟pontaneous grace鈥� of its music making. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the group nothing short of 鈥渆xquisite.鈥� As one of the nation鈥檚 few full-time
vocal ensembles, Cantus has grown in 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.
Cantus performs more than 60 concerts each year both in national and international
touring, and in its home of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. The ensemble is heard
frequently on both classical public radio nationwide and on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
Cantus has released 18 recordings on the group鈥檚 self-titled label. Committed to the
expansion of the vocal music repertoire, Cantus actively commissions new music each
season and seeks to unearth rarely performed repertoire for men鈥檚 voices. Integral
to the Cantus mission is its commitment to preserve and deepen music education in
the schools. Cantus works with more than 5,000 students each year in master class
and workshop settings across the country.
About the Program
In their 2018-19 touring program Alone Together, Cantus explores what it means to connect in a modern world where our ability to
communicate has never been easier or more advanced, but where the rifts between nations,
among communities, and in individual relationships only seem to widen. The program
is anchored by three works written for Cantus by Steven Sametz, David Lang and a new, multi-movement work by Libby Larsen, commissioned by Music Accord and written specifically around themes of technology and connection in our modern
world. The program 鈥� also weaving in music by Jennifer Higdon, Laura Mvula, McCartney
and Lennon, Saint-Sa毛ns, Beethoven, Dave Matthews, Arcade Fire, and Sydney Guillaume
鈥� will be presented in 36 cities and 21 states and provinces.
