Description

The Grammy® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer returns to Spivey Hall for the first time in eight years. Renowned globally as “an orchestra of voices” for its diverse repertoire and stunning virtuosity, Chanticleer captivates listeners with its exceptional artistry. 

Performing Our American Journey, Chanticleer celebrates the 250th anniversary of America’s independence by highlighting the diverse voices, songs, harmonies, and rhythms of our musical heritage. The program explores how these voices influenced each other and examines their impact and legacy in the present day. The program features a new commission by composer Trevor Weston, showcasing the connection between traditional American hymnody and African American spirituals. Other repertoire traces the evolution of the American choral tradition, from Black Gospel quartets to shape-note singing, barbershop quartets, vocal jazz, and American bluegrass.
