Kantorei opens its 2008-2009 Season by sharing portraits of American choral composition, including modern works and familiar spirituals.
The concert will feature Dominick Argento’s tranquil Walden Pond, set for chorus, harp, and cellos. The serene and intricate
song cycle is based on excerpts from poet Henry David Thoreau’s masterwork, 'Walden,' a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The concert
will also include works by emerging choral composers, including J. Aaron McDermid’s Te Lucis Ante Terminum and
Ola Gjeilo’s Ubi Caritas.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. Purchase tickets at the door or by calling the Kantorei ticket line at 303-316-0356. Tickets may also be reserved by e-mailing us at kantorei@kantorei.org.

10th Anniversary Season in Review
Kantorei recently completed its special 10th Anniversary Season, featuring special performances and events all year long.
From a unique and etherial fall concert highlighting several master works for choir, to a special "surprise" gift commission by renowned composer Rene Clausen, to featured performances at
the National Performing Arts Convention and the Colorado Music Educator's Association Conference, our season was truly one to remember. Most notably, Kantorei welcomed special guest conductor and composer
Eric Whitacre to our Season Finale concert series in May, featuring several of the composer's works under his direction in front of near-sold-out audiences. Our 10th Anniversary
Season marked a special point in our choir's history, and proved to be full of memorable experiences for fans of choral music throughout the Denver area.
