SUMMARY:Cantus
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 30th anniversary season\, Cantus is acclaimed for its signature warmth\, rich blend\, and inventive programs spanning music from the Renaissance to today. One of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus performs without a conductor\, creating collaborative\, emotionally resonant performances praised for their “exalting finesse” and “spontaneous grace” (The Washington Post). The ensemble tours widely\, records prolifically\, and remains deeply committed to education and the creation of new works for low voices. \n“Exquisite” –The Philadelphia Inquirer \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nNow celebrating its 30th anniversary season\, the “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is acclaimed for its trademark warmth\, impeccable blend\, and bold\, thoughtful programming. Known for riveting performances that span the Renaissance to the 21st century\, Cantus has been praised by The Washington Post for its “exalting finesse” and “expressive power.” \nAs one of the nation’s only full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus is defined by its unique collaborative process. Performing without a conductor\, its members rehearse and create as chamber musicians\, shaping programs that reflect shared human experiences. The Star Tribune notes\, “The hallmark of the Cantus sound has always been sheer quality and an unbroken belief in the special way vocal music warms and invigorates the human spirit.” \nBased in Minneapolis–St. Paul\, Cantus maintains a robust touring schedule\, with appearances at Lincoln Center\, Kennedy Center\, San Francisco Performances\, Tanglewood\, and Bravo! Vail. Its pandemic-inspired digital concerts now reach audiences in all 50 states and 16 countries. \nCantus records for Signum Classics (UK)\, with releases including Manifesto\, Into the Light\, and The COVID-19 Sessions\, and maintains a substantial self-released catalog. Devoted to expanding repertoire for low voices\, Cantus commissions new works and revives overlooked gems. The ensemble has received grants from New Music USA\, NEA\, Chorus America\, and others\, and in 2023\, received Chorus America’s Alice Parker Fund Award for its authentic programming of Black and Latinx traditions. \nCantus collaborates regularly with leading artists and organizations including the Minnesota Orchestra\, Boston Pops\, Canadian Brass\, Chanticleer\, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. The ensemble appears frequently on public radio and SiriusXM. \nEducation is central to Cantus’ mission. Through masterclasses\, residencies\, and its award-winning high school programs\, Cantus reaches over 5\,000 students annually. Its new High School Mentorship program and statewide tenor-bass festival deepen this impact\, alongside its Young and Emerging Composers Competition.

SUMMARY:Billy Childs Trio
DESCRIPTION:Experience an evening with Billy Childs\, one of the most celebrated and visionary composers and pianists of our time. Widely regarded as among the foremost American composers of his generation\, Childs has forged a singular voice that seamlessly unites jazz\, classical\, and contemporary chamber music traditions—creating a richly expressive style that is both sophisticated and deeply personal. \nA six-time GRAMMY-Award winner and seventeen-time nominee\, Childs has been honored across genres\, receiving awards for Best Instrumental Composition\, Best Arrangement\, and Best Instrumental Jazz Album\, most recently for The Winds of Change. His groundbreaking ability to move fluidly between jazz improvisation and orchestral composition has earned him commissions from leading institutions including the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, Detroit Symphony\, National Symphony\, Kronos Quartet\, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. His works have been performed at Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center\, and Walt Disney Concert Hall. \nChilds first rose to prominence as a prodigious young pianist with J.J. Johnson and Freddie Hubbard\, launching a jazz career that has evolved into one of remarkable breadth. His recordings—ranging from the acclaimed Lyric and Autumn: In Moving Pictures to Map to the Treasure\, featuring artists such as Renée Fleming and Yo-Yo Ma—demonstrate his extraordinary range and collaborative spirit. \nIn performance\, Childs combines virtuosic piano artistry with compositional brilliance\, delivering music that is lyrical\, rhythmically vibrant\, and emotionally resonant. Whether in intimate trio settings or expansive chamber works\, Billy Childs offers a concert experience that bridges traditions and redefines the possibilities of American music.
