Chanticleer "An Orchestra of Voices"
Chanticleer "An Orchestra of Voices"

Chanticleer appears as the second featured artist in the Clarion Performances Series. 

Named after the clear-singing rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer is an a capella wonder. The ensemble’s twelve members enchant listeners with musical power, spirit and unity, leading some to dub them “an orchestra of voices.” 

The GRAMMY® Award-winning male vocal ensemble based in San Francisco performs a diverse and innovative repertoire, reaching audiences worldwide through live concerts, electronic media, and education. Chanticleer has developed a remarkable reputation for its vivid interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, and from gospel to venturesome new music. With its seamless blend of twelve male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, the ensemble has earned international renown as “an orchestra of voices.” Hailed by the New Yorker magazine as “America’s favorite choral ensemble” and praised by the Los Angeles Times for its “luxurious perfection.”

Chanticleer appears in concert at the Clarion at Brazosport College on Friday, November 9 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $45 adults and $5 children and students. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit the Clarion website at http://clarion.brazosport.edu or call the Box Office at (979) 230-3156.
