| Spotlight for March 11, 2009 > A Capella Group CANTUS Comes to Fine Arts Center |
A Capella Group CANTUS Comes to Fine Arts Center Performance Scheduled for Thursday, March 12 at 7:30PM  America's newest full-time vocal ensemble sings with one of the freshest and most engaging sounds in choral music today. From art songs to folk songs, from Smokey Robinson to Richard Strauss, Cantus' brilliant sound, innovative programming and heart-felt singing have garnered the highest praise from critics and audiences alike. The singers—solo quality all—produce a wonderfully warm, gutsy and masculine sounds as well as a kind of smooth delivery, overtly emotionality, and uncanny sense of ensemble. They have a peerless gusto—a sense of boundless joy in music making. "Cantus' sonic blend was so beaming and elastic that it seemed to originate as a single, gorgeous variegated voice": The Washington Post.
Cantus will perform on Thursday, March 12 at 7:30PM at Bowker Auditorium on the UMass campus.
For information on tickets, call the Fine Arts Center Box Office at 545-2511 or 800-999-UMAS, or visit us online at the FAC Box Office on the web. | Peter Tolan and the Bowker Auditorium Project UMass Alumnus Makes Gift in Support of a Performance Venue Got Sound?
