SUMMARY:Cantus
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 30th anniversary season\, Cantus is acclaimed for its signature warmth\, rich blend\, and inventive programs spanning music from the Renaissance to today. One of the nation’s few full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus performs without a conductor\, creating collaborative\, emotionally resonant performances praised for their “exalting finesse” and “spontaneous grace” (The Washington Post). The ensemble tours widely\, records prolifically\, and remains deeply committed to education and the creation of new works for low voices. \n“Exquisite” –The Philadelphia Inquirer \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nNow celebrating its 30th anniversary season\, the “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is acclaimed for its trademark warmth\, impeccable blend\, and bold\, thoughtful programming. Known for riveting performances that span the Renaissance to the 21st century\, Cantus has been praised by The Washington Post for its “exalting finesse” and “expressive power.” \nAs one of the nation’s only full-time vocal ensembles\, Cantus is defined by its unique collaborative process. Performing without a conductor\, its members rehearse and create as chamber musicians\, shaping programs that reflect shared human experiences. The Star Tribune notes\, “The hallmark of the Cantus sound has always been sheer quality and an unbroken belief in the special way vocal music warms and invigorates the human spirit.” \nBased in Minneapolis–St. Paul\, Cantus maintains a robust touring schedule\, with appearances at Lincoln Center\, Kennedy Center\, San Francisco Performances\, Tanglewood\, and Bravo! Vail. Its pandemic-inspired digital concerts now reach audiences in all 50 states and 16 countries. \nCantus records for Signum Classics (UK)\, with releases including Manifesto\, Into the Light\, and The COVID-19 Sessions\, and maintains a substantial self-released catalog. Devoted to expanding repertoire for low voices\, Cantus commissions new works and revives overlooked gems. The ensemble has received grants from New Music USA\, NEA\, Chorus America\, and others\, and in 2023\, received Chorus America’s Alice Parker Fund Award for its authentic programming of Black and Latinx traditions. \nCantus collaborates regularly with leading artists and organizations including the Minnesota Orchestra\, Boston Pops\, Canadian Brass\, Chanticleer\, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. The ensemble appears frequently on public radio and SiriusXM. \nEducation is central to Cantus’ mission. Through masterclasses\, residencies\, and its award-winning high school programs\, Cantus reaches over 5\,000 students annually. Its new High School Mentorship program and statewide tenor-bass festival deepen this impact\, alongside its Young and Emerging Composers Competition.

SUMMARY:Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings by Linda Kauss
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Linda Kauss for an evening celebrating “Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings”\, a deeply personal work rooted in creative exploration and intuition. \n“Just Looking” began in 2005 as an exercise in creative play.

SUMMARY:Curators' Insights & Exhibit Previews: Inside the Faraday Cage & A Tale of Two Pianos
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Presentation and Exhibition Preview celebrating the opening of our two new Spring and Summer temporary exhibitions: Inside the Faraday Cage: The Science of Things That Aren’t So and a mini-exhibit A Tale of Two Pianos. \nThis exclusive preview offers guests early access to both exhibitions\, along with curator-led presentations that provide insight into the ideas\, individuals\, and historical context behind the work. \nEvening program:\n5:30 pm–6:00 pm Networking\n6:00 pm–6:45 pm Presentations\n6:50 pm–7:30 pm Tours of the Exhibit\nLight refreshments will be served. \nCuratorial Director John Leysath will present an in-depth exploration of Hammond’s 1951 Faraday cage experiments\, conducted in collaboration with physician and parapsychologist Andrija Puharich and renowned psychic medium Eileen Garrett. His talk examines the broader landscape of mid-20th-century psychic research\, the tension between belief and skepticism\, and the importance of scientific rigor in the study of paranormal phenomena. The presentation also considers the wider influence of this research\, including its connections to government-funded investigations. \nThe exhibition Inside the Faraday Cage features a life-size\, non-working replica of the experimental apparatus\, offering visitors a rare opportunity to step inside and engage with the physical environment of Hammond’s investigations. \nAssistant Curator Donovan Lafontaine will introduce A Tale of Two Pianos\, a focused installation exploring the history behind Hammond’s three major musical inventions. The ‘Pirafon’ piano\, a combination radio\, phonograph\, and piano instrument\, and the ‘Tonal Pedal’ piano\, a system of organ swell-like\, movable shutters for piano instruments.
