Chanticleer

Chanticleer is an acclaimed 12-man professional vocal ensemble that performs diverse historic and contemporary choral music, provides choral music education, and creates new choral work. The group performs locally, and tours nationally and internationally, reaching more than 52,000 in a typical year. Chanticleer also provides training programs and master classes for high school and collegiate choruses, and adult singers. Its catalogue of recordings is frequently broadcast on radio nationally. Support for Chanticleer advances the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy.

San Francisco Chanticleer is a full-time, professional all-male vocal ensemble. The Grammy-winning a cappella group performs a varied repertoire that encompasses Gregorian chant, jazz, new music, spirituals, folk, and choral classics, reaching worldwide audiences of more than 60,000 people each year. Locally, Chanticleer’s education programs serve more than 4,000 Bay Area youth through in-school and out-of-school programs and the Chanticleer Youth Choral Festival. Continued support would allow Chanticleer to maintain its core artistic programs (which include extensive touring), to further develop its educational programming, and to continue to refine its business model.
