Sharing the Power of Classical Music: Cantus at the DMV

Choral music is powerful. It can make us feel better and live bigger. We at YourClassical MPR want to share this power with people in the community, in places where they least expect it but where they could benefit from a little “feel better, live bigger” — like this performance by Cantus at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Where would you like us to show up next?
