Chanticleer has developed a remarkable reputation for its vivid interpretation of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, and from gospel to venturesome new music. Chanticleer also has a long history of commissioning new works and supporting contemporary composers.
With its seamless blend of 12 male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, the ensemble has earned international renown as “an orchestra of voices”. Hailed by The New Yorker as “America’s favorite choral ensemble,” the GRAMMYâ Award-winning group will perform more than 100 concerts across the United States this upcoming season. The ensemble has just returned from a three week tour of Europe, including performances at the prestigious Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
