Cantus is a Minneapolis-based, nonconductor vocal ensemble comprised of nine male singers. Since its formation in 1994, the group has pursued high-level choral performance through adventurous programming that spans multiple periods and genres, including commissioned works created for the ensemble. Its activities include performances, recordings, and digital media, with a focus on engaging audiences across the United States and fostering the next generation of singers through outreach with student choirs. The ensemble has earned recognition within the choral field, including multiple awards from Chorus America, and has a history of collaborative projects with other artists such as Canadian Brass. Cantus operates without a conductor or music director during rehearsals and performances, positioning itself as a distinctive model within the professional vocal-ensemble landscape.
