Named for the "clear-singing" rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer has been called "the world's reigning male chorus" by the New Yorker magazine, and named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008. In 2012-2013 the Grammy-award-winning ensemble will perform more than 100 concerts in its 35th season.
The group has appeared throughout the United States and at prestigious festivals such as Edinburgh, La Chaise Dieu, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein and Rheingau. On a ten-country tour in early 2012 the ensemble sang at Europe's most renowned concert halls, including the Musikverein in Vienna, the Bela Bartok Concert Hall in Budapest, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Chanticleer-based in San Francisco-is known around the world as "an orchestra of voices" for the seamless blend of its twelve male voices ranging from countertenor to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, and from gospel to venturesome new music.
