Chanticleer on Today show
The Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer, now in its 32nd season, will give 25 holiday concerts across America this season, continuing a tradition that has made “A Chanticleer Christmas” one of the group’s most beloved programs. Tomorrow morning, on Friday, December 4, the group will appear for the fifth consecutive year on NBC TV’s popular Today show, singing a traditional carol in both the 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock hours (eastern time; check local listings). The group will also talk about its two most recent recording projects: Fireside Christmas with Chanticleer, a DVD featuring a virtual Yule log and glorious selections of Christmas fare, from early music to traditional carols, drawn from Chanticleer’s discography (including Biebl’s Ave Maria, the group’s most beloved encore); and Best of Chanticleer, a greatest hits collection from Rhino that showcases the group’s trademark versatility.
The group continues its U.S. Christmas tour with a concert in Westhampton Beach, NY (December 5); two concerts (December 7 and 8) at Chicago’s 4th Presbyterian Church, presented by the Chicago Symphony; a return engagement at Los Angeles’s Walt Disney Concert Hall (December 17); and eleven performances throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Chanticleer’s home base.
