Cantus and Chanticleer: Live from Orchestra Hall

We are proud to bring you selections from the historic sold-out concert of Cantus and Chanticleer, recorded at Orchestra Hall last October!

Imagine if Lexus and Infiniti got together and said, "Hey, let's make a car together, a really, really cool car!" Chanticleer and Cantus, America's best-in-class male vocal ensembles, have never shared a stage together. They have shared a beer together, and, famously, video of that 2016 event went wildly viral. That inspired these two groups to think of what collaboration might look like. Voila! These two handsome groups of guys revved that new engine of theirs in a single, sold-out joint concert October 3 at Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, Minn.

Here are select highlights from the October 3 concert:
