Chanticleer

“These men are phenomenal: as fresh as a blade of grass, tightly focused and keenly expressive.”
New York Times

“Chanticleer fascinates and enthralls for much the same reason a fine chocolate or a Rolls Royce does: through luxurious perfection.”
Los Angeles Times

The GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer returns to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. Don’t miss your chance to hear this “orchestra of voices” in live performance.
