Unionville High School Presents Grammy Award-Winning Ensemble Chanticleer
America’s a capella pride and joy brings their orchestra of voices to Unionville for one night only!
(Kennett Square, Pa.) March 11, 2019 - Unionville High School presents Chanticleer in concert on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. Hailed as “the world’s reigning male chorus” by The New Yorker, the San Francisco-based Grammy Award-winning ensemble Chanticleer celebrates its 40th anniversary this season.
Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,” Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its seamless blend of twelve male voices ranging from soprano to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz and popular genres, as well as contemporary composition.
"It is an honor to host one of the world's greatest choral ensembles,” comments Jason Throne, Music Director at Unionville High School. “Chanticleer concerts are known for world class musicianship and audience members will have an amazing experience they will cherish for years to come."

About Chanticleer
Since Chanticleer began releasing recordings in 1981, the group has sold over one million albums and won two Grammys. The a capella ensemble was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis A. Botto, who sang with the ensemble until 1989 and served as artistic director until his death in 1997. The group takes its name from the “clear-singing” roster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Chanticleer was named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008 and inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame the same year.
