Cantus Talks About Love

When Cantus comes to town later this month, performing with True Concord’s voices as part of the Tucson Desert Song Festival, they’ll be singing about love.

Acclaimed as “the premier men’s vocal ensemble in the United States” (Fanfare), Cantus is known world-wide for its trademark warmth and versatility, and its engaging performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21^st century.

Cantus and True Concord, separately and together, will take audiences on a musical odyssey through The Four Loves, as described by the ancient Greeks. The program will look at this unquantifiable emotion from all sides, with music from Monteverdi and Brahms, to Eric Whitacre and Bobby McFerrin. Cantus will also perform four new commissioned works of David Lang, Roger Treece, Joseph Gregoria and Ysaye Barnwell.
