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. This 8-man a cappella ensemble is one of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles, and has grown in prominence over their 26-year history with its distinctive approach to creating music.
Integral to the Cantus mission is its commitment to preserve and deepen music education in schools and communities locally in the Twin Cities, as well as wherever they travel.

Music helps address those questions in this beautifully crafted program filled with popular music and classical pieces.” – Julie Amacher, Program Director, Classical Minnesota Public Radio
Alone Together is a special program we recorded with Minnesota Public Radio and American Public Media’s Call To Mind for Mental Health Month (May) and features the following songs:
