Cantemus Presents "The Peace of Wild Things"
Company: Cantemus Chamber Chorus
Cantemus Chamber Chorus, with 42 members from across the North Shore, will present three concerts in December that share “The Peace of Wild Things.” Inspired by the Animal Kingdom, this concert preserves some seasonal traditions, and goes beyond. The repertoire ranges from des Prez and Mendelssohn to contemporary composers Eric Whitacre and Craig Hella Johnson. Some pieces reflect on the grace and beauty of the natural world; some involve animals being personified or used as poetic symbols; and some mimic actual animal sounds!
The concerts will take place in three North Shore towns: In Beverly on Friday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 4 Ocean St.; in Newburyport on Sunday, December 8 at 4:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 166 High St.; and in Gloucester on Sunday, December 15 at 4:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 10 Church St.
Cantemus’ Artistic Director Jason Iannuzzi said, “We are thrilled to present this expansive program of choral music from the 15th through the 21st century. The animal kingdom has provided a deep well of inspiration for poets and composers who have sought to capture their grace and beauty, as well as the seemingly human qualities of our fauna friends.”
