Chanticleer, an ensemble renowned for its precision vocal blend, nuanced artistry, and adventurous programming, will perform at the ODC Theater in San Francisco on September 17, 2026. The group primarily performs a cappella music spanning a wide range of styles – from Renaissance polyphony and Gregorian chant to jazz, spirituals, and contemporary compositions. They are particularly noted for commissioning new works and exploring diverse cultural traditions through music. Founded in 1978, Chanticleer has cultivated a distinctive sound characterized by a remarkably unified vocal texture achieved through specialized technique and extensive rehearsal.
