Armed with the sword of harmony and a panoply of pristine voices, Chanticleer has been combatting toxic masculinity for more than 40 years. Born in San Francisco, this choral ensemble consists of 12 male voices ranging from soaring countertenor to thundering bass, creating a sound that has toured the globe and collected awards for decades. Tonight’s program is based off their most recent recording, a celebration of the group’s repertoire that encompasses the Renaissance polyphony of Palestrina, the jazz of Gershwin, hits from the Judeo-Christian tradition, and a host of music in between. by Brian Horay
