The monumental Mass in B Minor of Johann Sebastian Bach will be performed by the Exultate Festival Choir and Orchestra. This work, the pinnacle of choral music, was one of the final works written by the great master. The magnificent creation of movement after movement woven together to form the five chief parts of the Mass must be experienced. In addition to the music, Bach’s personal Bible will be on display along with artifacts surrounding his life, his faith and the Mass in B Minor. Your ticket to the concert allows you to view this marvelous exhibit.

This Celtic band seen in “Titanic” blends folk, world music, and traditional Irish sounds on chart-topping albums and during energetic live sets.

• Genres the longtime band blends: indie folk, world music, and traditional Celtic
• When you may have first heard (and seen) them: when they set the live soundtrack to a party in steerage, enthusiastically attended by the star-crossed Jack and Rose in the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic
• What that big break did for the band: set them on a worldwide tour that helped them rack up countless fans, soar up the Billboard world music charts, and produce 12 albums
• What founding member Patrick Murphy says about the band’s fans: “We have earned every single one of our fans, one at a time. . . we’ve become friends with so many of them. When someone at a show tells me they’ve never seen Gaelic Storm before, I say, ‘Welcome to the family.’”

I am a HUGE choir nerd. I was in choir all four years of college (at UWEC – “Wisconsin’s Singing University,” thankyouverymuch) and I still absolutely love all things choral music.

I remember seeing Cantus in concert as an undergrad, and right now there are discount tickets available via Goldstar for two upcoming Cantus concerts! Tickets are $16 (50% off), plus service fees for the following two concerts:

Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater on Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 pm

Colonial Church of Edina on Thursday, March 21st at 11 am

If these dates don’t work for you, Cantus has other shows available with this same theme, albeit they won’t be at a discount.

“What kind of person do I want to be? How do I find someone to share my life with? What happens when I make mistakes?” When I Grow Up explores the path of self-realization. From childhood through adulthood, Cantus reflects on the cycle of life. Exploring themes of adolescence, companionship, parenthood, masculinity, and morality, When I Grow Up considers how we come who we are.
