Join the nationally-acclaimed, St. Louis Park based, male vocal ensemble Cantus as it presents its first ever pop concert for three nights at the Southern Theater. The sweet harmonies of Minnesota's number one cultural export will weave together songs by the likes of Leonard Cohen, The White Stripes, Nick Drake and The Beach Boys to tell the story of one couple's journey through make-ups and break-ups. The concert will feature brand-spanking-new arrangements created by Cantus, collaborative musicians Lee Blaske and Dave Hagedorn, and charming and bizarre instruments played by the singers themselves. Come rock out with Cantus! May 16 and 17, 2008, 8:00pm, Sunday, May 18, 2008, 7:00pm The Southern Theater tel. 612.340.17 |
