Meet the men of Cantus
Today we'll meet the newest PT Artists in Residence, the nine men of the vocal ensemble Cantus. They'll be involved with the show over the course of the musical season. Today, we'll hear Cantus in a special Thanksgiving Day perfchat. They perform a number of songs, including Jean Sibelius'"Finlandia," the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts," and Bobby McFerrin's setting of the 23rd Psalm. Plus, a string quartet by a man who had a profound impact on American music, Antonin Dvorak.
