Cantus

Internationally acclaimed vocal group Cantus will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday, February 5 in Halling Recital Hall of the Earley Center for Performing Arts, 320 Maywood Avenue.

The Department of Performing Arts event is sponsored in part by the Nadine B. Andreas Endowment and the Minnesota State Mankato Performance Series.

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 Star Tribune 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.”

The Washington Post has hailed the Cantus sound as having both “exalting finesse” and “expressive power” and refers to the “spontaneous grace” of its music making. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the group nothing short of “exquisite.”

General admission for the concert is $20 in advance and $25 the day of the concert.
