ORDWAY CONCERT HALL  •  ST. PAUL, MN

Join two of today’s most compelling chamber ensembles, Cantus and the GRAMMY-winning Imani Winds, for My Ancestors Speak, a powerful joint concert that unites a stunning vocal octet and a dynamic wind quintet. Through a fusion of story and song, this unique collaboration celebrates the rich, diverse cultural lineages of both ensembles, exploring deeply rooted connections to identity, tradition, and history.

The concert features two newly commissioned works, “My Ancestors Speak” by Pulitzer Prize finalist Alex Weiser and “Left” by 2022 Hermitage Greenfield Prize winner Angélica Negrón, alongside repertoire that highlights a global array of musical traditions and voices.

This collaboration continues Cantus’ proud tradition of sharing the stage with such groups as The Swingles, Chanticleer, Canadian Brass, Lorelei Ensemble, Cantus Norway, and Sweet Honey in the Rock, offering audiences a standout (and likely sold-out) highlight of the season.

Highlighted Repertoire

My Ancestors Speak – Alex Weiser
Left – Angélica Negrón
How Can I Keep From Singing? – arr. Stephen Caracciolo
Mi Tierra (My Homeland) – Gloria Estefan, Estéfano; arr. Yosvany Estepe Díaz
Balm in Gilead – arr. Jeff Scott
Mr. Banjo – arr. Jeff Scott
