Chanticleer

Chanticleer returns to First & Franklin to help us celebrate our 15th anniversary season. Join us for a jubilant celebration of choral singing: from Renaissance masterworks to Romantic part-songs, contemporary commissions, vocal jazz, and everything in between. Chanticleer is at home in every genre and revels in sharing the best of their art form wherever they go. Repertoire includes Renaissance motets by William Byrd and Heinrich Isaac, classic arrangements of familiar folk songs like “Shenandoah” and “Calling my children home,” settings of the jazz standards “Blue Skies” and “Lost in the Stars,” as well as contemporary arrangements of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and Queen’s “Somebody to Love.”
