More than just a choir.
We sing, we dance, but most importantly, we share.

Cantus Youth Choir hosts two productions each season: the Winter Concert and the Season Finale. These productions combine special effects, video, lighting, singing, choreography and thousands of staging cues that showcase the talents of professional instrumentalists, guest artists, technical crews, and Cantus youth.
