NMU Siril Concert Series: Cantus

Concert poster for Northern Michigan University: CANUS Vocal Ensemble members pose in a bright recital hall; Reynolds Recital Hall, Oct. 16, 2026.

Now in its 32nd season, the “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is widely known for its trademark warmth and blend, innovative programming and riveting performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century. As one of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles, Cantus has come to prominence with its distinctive approach to creating music. Working without a conductor, the members of Cantus rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing to the entirety of the artistic process, creating programs that give voice to shared human experiences.

This event is brought to you by the Siril Endowment for the Musical Arts.
