Chanticleer, a San Francisco based a cappella group hailed by The New Yorker as “the world’s reigning male chorus,” will perform one concert in Rudder Theatre on Thursday, April 11, at 7 p.m., first time since the ensemble appeared in town more than 30 years ago in 1992.
This time, the multiple Grammy Awards-winning artists will be brought to College Station by the collaboration of Friends of Chamber Music, BCS and the School of Performance, Visualization & Fine Arts at Texas A&M University (SPVFA). The concert program will feature a breathtaking journey through several centuries of a cappella music and will also include two songs performed by Chanticleer together with 100 students of TAMU Century Singers choral ensemble.
Earlier that day, Chanticleer will lead a masterclass for the Century Singers at the TAMU Music Activities Center at 12:45-2 p.m.
Two student choral groups of College Station High School, Chorale and Purple Reign, will be featured in the Pre-Concert Opening starting at 6:15 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall.
Continuing Friends of Chamber Music’s tradition of connecting music and visual art, a newly created abstract painting by Dmitri Koustov of Texas A&M University will be showcased on the stage of Rudder Theatre for one night only.
Tickets are available at MSC Box Office, (979) 845 1234 and online at https://rb.gy/mbp6pa and fcmtx.org. $40 Regular; $5 Students; Kids Free.
This concert has been made possible by the support of Robin & Hays Glover and the School of Performance, Visualization & Fine Arts, and it is generously sponsored by Janet & Bill Johnson; Becky & Don Russell; Mark Symm with Charles Schwab; and many individual and business donors.
Concert of Chanticleer will conclude the 28th concert season of Friends of Chamber Music of Bryan-College Station.
