SFCM welcomes Opus 3 Artist and GRAMMY-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer for its first official artistic collaboration with SFCM's Conservatory Chorus, under the direction of Eric Choate. Chanticleer’s repertoire is rooted in the Renaissance, and has continued to expand to include a wide range of classical, gospel, jazz, popular music, and a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements.
