Cantate presents Duality, our 2023-2024 season of pairings and perspectives. Each concert on this exceptional season tells at least two sides to a story, exploring the complexity and universality of our shared experiences through contrasting imagery, languages, eras, and styles. Join us for works by Antonio Vivaldi, Ola Gjeilo, Morten Lauridsen, Dan Forrest, Alice Parker, Gwyneth Walker, Eric Whitacre, Samuel Barber, and more. Treat yourself to intimate encounters with chamber classics, a Latin mass with a tango twist, and grand oratorios, traditional and modern, with lush, immersive orchestras. Purchase tickets for individual concerts below.
