Wondemagegnehu, who manages Minnesota Public Radio's Choral Works Initiative, is looking forward to the choral group Cantus' fall program "The Four Loves." (Oct. 8, 10 & 16-18 at various locations, cantussings.org)
"I have always been a big supporter of the group, but when they told me about this concert, I started fangirling! They commissioned four composers to write a piece of music based on the way the Greeks broke down the types of love: familial, friendly, romantic and unconditional. Veteran tenor Paul John Rudoi could see the shock on my face and said the concert could very well be the best touring program Cantus has ever built."
