Program
Music of a Silent World
In Music of a Silent World, Chanticleer sings the songs of the natural world and gives a voice to the otherwise voiceless rocks and stones and trees and rivers that share our planet with us. The program centers around a new arrangement of Majel Connery's The Rivers Are Our Brothers. Repertoire includes music by William Byrd, Heinrich Isaac, and Robert Schumann, new arrangements of "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty and "The Weather" by Lawrence, and a new commission from Chanticleer's composer in residence, Ayanna Woods.
“The wonder of Chanticleer is its beauty and clarity of sound as 12 distinctive voices mingles so perfectly.” -ArtsATL
About the Artists
About the Artists
The GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging repertoire and dazzling virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto, Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world, selling over one million recordings and performing thousands of live concerts to audiences around the world.
Chanticleer’s repertoire is rooted in the renaissance and has continued to expand to include a wide range of classical, gospel, jazz, popular music, and a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements.
Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer continues to maintain ambitious programming in its hometown of San Francisco, including a large education and outreach program, and an annual concert series that includes its legendary holiday tradition “A Chanticleer Christmas”.
