Gaining recognition as one of America's finest professional male vocal ensembles, Cantus enjoys a vigorous schedule of national tours, subscription concerts in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, innovative residencies and outreach programs, and recording. The Washington Post called the singers' sound "beaming and elastic" and referred to their music-making as "spontaneous grace." Reahearsing and performing without conductor, Cantus' repertoire spans many periods and genres, including chant, Renaissance motets, contemporary works, art songs, folk music, spirituals, world music, and pop.
