Chanticleer

San Francisco’s Chanticleer advances choral music through live performances, choral education, recording, and by commissioning and performing new choral works. Each year, the 12-man ensemble typically performs over 100 concerts throughout the Bay Area, nationally, and internationally, reaching more 45,000 pople. The organization’s youth choral festival draws school choruses from across the San Francisco Bay Area to focus on ensemble vocal training and performance opportunities. In service of adult choruses, the organization offers an intensive week-long summer choral workshop in Sonoma County. This grant to Chanticleer supports the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy.
