Other groups aim for a honeyed but disembodied sound. Cantus matches that blend, but it also revels in a heft of sound hardly imagined possible form ten men singing without accompaniment. At times ... Cantus sounded 50 voices strong.
—Los Angeles Times
Recognized as one of America's finest professional male vocal ensembles, Cantus is known for adventurous programming spanning many periods and genres. Together with Theatre Latté Da the nine-man chorus will perform works from its CD All Is Calm, a selection of songs, poetry, letters, and journal excerpts relating to the extraordinary World War I "Christmas Truce," when soldiers who had heard each other singing carols put down their weapons to celebrate Christmas together.
