CHANTICLEER
Thursday, October 25, 2007 | 10:30–11:20 am | Memorial Church
Chanticleer—the 12-member male a cappella ensemble—revered as an “orchestra of voices” performs music from their expansive repertoire at Stanford’s historical Memorial Church. From the sacred hymns of the medieval and Renaissance eras to contemporary secular arrangements, Chanticleer’s dynamic performance is a natural springboard for a study of music, history, and the expansive potential of the human voice.
