About the Artist
DeCantus is a group of professional singers performing a cappella music in an ensemble ranging in size from four to ten people. We engage and entertain our audiences by tying our selections together in a dynamic performance uniting elements of music, scripted acting, and improvisation. DeCantus has performed in a variety of venues ranging from corporate parties to music and art festivals to Renaissance Festivals across the country. The performers of DeCantus have a combined total of more than 120 years of performing experience. Apart from singing together in this group and separately in other choral ensembles, we draw on diverse individual backgrounds to bring depth to our performances. These experiences include solo singing, acting, musical directing, teaching, composing, arranging, choreographing, improvisation, and producing.

In the summer and fall we perform unaccompanied secular music from, and in the style of, the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries, including madrigals, folk songs, catches, and rounds. We perform this music at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and various art festivals around the Twin Cities.

During the Holiday season DeCantus transforms into a traditional caroling group. Appearing in groups of five to ten, we perform a repertoire that includes both sacred and secular holiday music. We have a diverse mix of holiday standards and rare gems that show off our rich vocals.
