Cantus (kahn-toos) is Latin for 'choir' and is designed primarily for 6-9 graders — audition required. Cantus is NMCCC's largest and most advanced performing ensemble. Singers rehearse Tuesday evenings as well as monthly Saturday afternoons. Cantus performs in the NMCCC Holiday, Winter and Spring Concerts, at community events throughout the season and, as opportunities present, with guest artists and organizations such as the Traverse Symphony Orchestra. Cantus tours each spring, offering unique performance and cultural opportunities.
