Part of Hancher's Golden Anniversary Season

Cantus has a simple but powerful vision: to give voice to shared human experiences. And what beautiful voices they bring to the task. This low-voice choir is known for its warmth, blend, and innovative approaches to programming and performance. In this holiday concert, the members of Cantus will wrap you in the joyous sounds of the season.
