Known for innovative programming and riveting performances\, Cantus moves audiences with repertoire that spans centuries\, from the Renaissance to today. Performing without a conductor\, Cantus works as a true chamber ensemble: each member has an equal voice in shaping every program. This collaborative spirit results in deeply human performances that explore connection\, empathy\, and shared experience. As The Washington Post notes\, Cantus delivers music with “exalting finesse” and “spontaneous grace.” Based in Minneapolis\, Cantus tours nationally and internationally\, with appearances at Lincoln Center\, the Kennedy Center\, Tanglewood\, and more. International engagements have taken the ensemble to Canada\, Europe\, South America\, and Asia sharing their music and mission with global audiences. Cantus also offers all home concerts via streaming\, connecting with audiences across all 50 states and over 16 countries. Cantus records with the UK-based Signum Classics label\, with recent albums including Into the Light\, Alone Together\, and Fields of Wonder. A champion of new and underrepresented music for low voices\, Cantus regularly commissions composers and publishes through the Cantus Choral Series in partnership with Graphite Publishing. In 2023\, the group was honored with Chorus America’s Alice Parker Fund Award for its inclusive and authentic programming. Cantus also leads Collaborative Concerts\, bringing together local choral communities to share the stage\, exchange artistry\, and build lasting musical connections. As a presenter\, Cantus has hosted acclaimed ensembles including Chanticleer\, The King’s Singers\, Sweet Honey in the Rock\, Canadian Brass\, and many others—creating opportunities for Minnesota audiences to experience world-class vocal and instrumental music in conversation with Cantus’ own work. Education is central to Cantus’ mission. Each year\, the ensemble reaches over 5\,000 students through workshops\, residencies\, and festivals\, including the acclaimed High School Mentorship Program\, an annual Tenor Bass Festival\, and the Cantus Composer Competition. Thanks to the generosity of our presenting sponsors\, we are pleased to provide quality musical programming at no charge to the public. — Event Details: https://hub.houghton.edu/rsvp?id=383329 URL:https://www.houghton.edu/event/artist-series-cantus/ LOCATION:Wesley Chapel\, 42.427041\,-78.153753 CATEGORIES:GSOM ORGANIZER;CN="Greatbatch School of Music":MAILTO:music@houghton.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260206T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260206T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T075321 CREATED:20250721T220532Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T053449Z UID:10002502-1770402600-1770408000@www.houghton.edu SUMMARY:Chamber Choir DESCRIPTION:Hear our Chamber Choir sing!\n—\nEvent Details: https://hub.houghton.edu/rsvp?id=383330 URL:https://www.houghton.edu/event/chamber-choir-2/ LOCATION:Atrium\, 42.427041\,-78.153753 CATEGORIES:GSOM ORGANIZER;CN="Greatbatch School of Music":MAILTO:music@houghton.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260212T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260212T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T075321 CREATED:20251216T020456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260212T053457Z UID:10002799-1770924600-1770928200@www.houghton.edu SUMMARY:Senior Recital: Sarah Hoppough\, saxophone: "Dirge for Bygone Days" DESCRIPTION:Sarah Hoppough’s Senior Recital.
