PT's Artists in Residence

Like a lot of great musical ensembles, the vocal ensemble Cantus started as a group of friends getting together to make music for the sheer joy of it. They turned professional a few years later. Now, they've been called the premier men's vocal ensemble in the country. They're also this year's PT Artists in Residence. In today's show, Cantus sings sacred choral music from the last 400 years.
