Chanticleer, called “the world’s reigning male chorus” by The New Yorker magazine, and named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008, will be performing at Cork Opera House on 11 February 2014.
The San Francisco-based, GRAMMY® award-winning ensemble embarks upon its 36th season in 2013-14 which includes a winter international tour of 9 European countries, including Ireland. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for their “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,” Chanticleer 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.
In September, Chanticleer launched a new studio album, Someone New, which is a collection of jazz/pop tunes by composers such as Brubeck, Jobim, Gotye, Waits, Mercury, Elbow, M83 and others newly arranged for Chanticleer. Since they began releasing recordings in 1981, the group has sold well over a million copies and garnered two GRAMMY® awards.
Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis Botto, who sang in the Ensemble until 1989 and served as Artistic Director until his death in 1997.
