Chanticleer live in Los Angeles

Experience Chanticleer live on December 16th

Chanticleer, an ensemble renowned for its vocal performance and stylistic versatility, will perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on December 16, 2026. The group is celebrated for its repertoire spanning Renaissance polyphony, Gregorian chant, jazz, spirituals and contemporary compositions. Notably, Chanticleer consistently presents programs without a conductor, relying on the musicianship of its members – currently twelve singers – to achieve a unified sound. Founded in 1978 as an experiment within the Archdiocesan Choir of San Francisco, the ensemble quickly gained international acclaim for its purity of tone and innovative programming.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, completed in 2003, serves as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, it is recognized globally for its striking stainless steel exterior. Acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota played a crucial role in shaping the hall’s interior to optimize sound quality; a key design goal was to create a warm and intimate acoustic experience despite its substantial size. The hall features vineyard-style seating which places the audience closer to the performers.
