The clear singing rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales gave the 12 men of Chanticleer their name 48 years ago. Now the group is one of the world's most loved with a stop at the David Johnson Chapel on the Thiel College campus as part of the Con Spirito Concert Series on October 30th at 7pm. Assistant Music Director Matthew Mazzola runs down the American theme for the program and explains the special quality of the sound with an overview of the history bringing together more than 70 new pieces of music, Renaissance music, jazz, gospel, pop tunes, Latin music and women composers ranging across the full gamut of choral tradition.
Chanticleer has won several Grammy awards, made more than fifty recordings selling over one million records and have a new one on the way this fall, "Joy to the World." They have a popular New York fundraiser for the holiday at St. Ignatius Church in New York City on December 7th and give the holiday concert in 11 Northern California venues.
Greenville is the grand finale on the last night of the fall tour after stops in Alabama, North Carolina and Georgia. Tickets are $20. Free for Thiel students with proceeds to benefit the Thiel College Choir tour to Austria and Switzerland in 2026 March.
