Chanticleer





Chanticleer, the only full-time classical vocal ensemble in the United States, has developed a remarkable reputation over its 21-year history for its interpretation of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, and from gospel to venturesome new music. With its seamless blend of twelve male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, Chanticleer has earned international renown as "an orchestra of voices."

Named for the "clear-singing" rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis Botto, who sang with the group until 1989 and served as its Artistic Director until his death in 1997. In March, 1998, Chanticleer announced the appointment of a new Artistic Director, Craig Hella Johnson. An accomplished choral and orchestral conductor, pianist, singer/songwriter and educator, Johnson joined Chanticleer full-time in September, 1998. Joseph Jennings served as Music Director from 1984 to 1998 and is currently involved in Chanticleer's educational and community outreach programs.

Since 1994, Chanticleer has been recording exclusively for Teldec Classics International, making the ensemble's recordings available worldwide. Chanticleer has 20 recordings to its credit and performs over 100 concerts a year across the U.S., as well as in Europe and Asia. The group sang in Australia and Sweden for the first time during the 1996-97 season, and made debuts in London, Paris and Rome in the fall of 1997. Chanticleer appears regularly in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Houston, Toronto and Vancouver, as well as in San Francisco, where the ensemble is based.

The 1997-98 season, during which Chanticleer celebrated its twentieth anniversary, took the ensemble to 24 states. The group also successfully completed a major undertaking during the spring of 1998: a tour of the American Southwest and Mexico City featuring music of the Mexican Baroque era, with an orchestra of period instruments. During this musical pilgrimage, Chanticleer visited some of the very places this repertoire was performed centuries ago and sang selections from its most recent CD, Matins for the Virgin of Guadalupe, released in February, 1998.

Chanticleer's 1998-99 schedule includes performances in 17 states, as well as extensive international touring. The ensemble will travel to Canada, Japan, Germany, Austria and France, and will also perform in Israel for the first time. A new recording of recently commissioned works is scheduled for release in April, 1999.

Chanticleer's long-standing commitment to developing the choral repertoire has led the group to commission works from many composers, including David Conte, Brent Michael Davids, Anthony Davis, William Hawley, Tania Leon, Bernard Rands, Steven Sametz, Peter Schickele, Augusta Read Thomas and Chen Yi.

Chanticleer's artistic accomplishments have earned the ensemble numerous awards, as well as significant foundation support and government funding. Chanticleer is the recipient of major grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, the E. Nakamichi Foundation, the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation and the City of San Francisco. With the help of foundation and corporate support, the group brings the gift of singing to young people by conducting artist-in-the-schools residencies both on tour and in the San Francisco Bay Area. Chanticleer's activities as a not-for- profit corporation are supported by its Board of Trustees and an administrative staff of ten.
