- Unique album created over lockdown, following a series of youtube videos that achieved millions of views

In August 2020, Signum Classics began releasing Cantus’ COVID-19 Sessions. Recorded on March 17, 19, and 20 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the COVID-19 Sessions came together quickly as society began to shut down amidst the growing outbreak in the United States.

First released on YouTube and Facebook in the spring of 2020, the tracks racked up millions of views, leading to a series of digital singles . Available together now for the first time, the pieces span a great breadth of emotion, from joy to sorrow to wonder to pain. The choir add: "We hope you will find the performances themselves informed by the emotional states in which they were recorded – heightened at different times in different ways."
