Chanticleer, an ensemble renowned for its vibrant and virtuosic vocal performances, will perform at the ODC Theater in San Francisco on September 13, 2026. The group specializes in a repertoire spanning Renaissance polyphony, jazz, and contemporary compositions, consistently noted for its blend of technical precision and expressive artistry. Often performing without a conductor, Chanticleer is celebrated for its innovative programming and commitment to commissioning new works. Founded in 1978, the ensemble has garnered numerous awards including a Grammy.

The ODC Theater, located in the Mission District of San Francisco, has been a significant venue for contemporary dance and performance art since 1976. Originally founded as Oberle Dance Collective by Kimi Gray and Brenda Way, ODC evolved into a multi-disciplinary arts organization supporting dance creation, presentation, and education. The theater itself is known for its intimate setting and flexible space which allows for varied stage configurations. It has hosted both established and emerging artists across multiple disciplines throughout its history and continues to be a vital hub within the city’s arts community. The building underwent significant renovation and seismic upgrades completed in 2020 to ensure continued accessibility and functionality for performing artists.
