Chanticleer

Tuesday, December 15th — 7 PM

Ventura Center for Spiritual Living

Rooted in the Renaissance but far from limited to it, Chanticleer’s repertoire spans five centuries, encompassing classical, gospel, jazz, and popular music alongside a deep commitment to commissioning new works from living composers. The ensemble maintains an ambitious presence in its hometown of San Francisco, with a robust education and outreach program and an annual concert series that includes its beloved holiday tradition, A Chanticleer Christmas. Whether performing polyphony from the 1400s or a freshly commissioned work, Chanticleer brings a warmth, precision, and transcendent blend to everything it touches, making each performance a genuinely rare listening experience.
