“We’re delighted to have this renowned acappella group back during its 25th anniversary season,” said Dr. Mark Looker, director of the Kreft Arts Program and a longtime CUAA English professor.
As history is filled with stories of daring innovators who had the audacity to dream of one day conquering the sky, the combo explores and celebrates the allure of upward exploration in “One Giant Leap,” as well as the triumph of the human spirit and striving for excellence through technology.
Among the selections being performed are: Edvard Grieg’s Ave Maris Stella, Ken Jennings’ And Death Shall Have No Dominion, and Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Psalm of the Soil, commissioned by Cantus several years ago. The concert will be held in CUAA’s Chapel of the Holy Trinity, 4090 Geddes Road.
