A Chanticleer Christmas is Chanticleer's beloved offering, a favorite with audiences and critics alike. The warmth and profundity of A Chanticleer Christmas are revealed in a telling of the Christmas story in Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, traditional carols, Franz Biebl's "Ave Maria" (Chanticleer's most requested Christmas selection) and Chanticleer's traditional medley of spirituals.
Chanticleer is led by music director William Fred Scott.
