Called “the world’s reigning male chorus” by the New Yorker, the Grammy Award-winning ensemble Chanticleer celebrates its 40th season in 2017-18.

The ensemble is known around the world as an “orchestra of voices” for the seamless blend of its 12 male voices, ranging from soprano to bass, as well as its original interpretations of vocal literature that run the gamut from Gregorian chant to jazz and popular genres. Named for the “clearsinging” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, “Chanticleer fascinates and enthralls for much the same reason a fine chocolate or a Rolls Royce does: through luxurious perfection.” (Los Angeles Times)
