Performance Information

Experience the rare magic of Chanticleer, whose seamless “orchestra of voices” has earned them multiple GRAMMY Awards and captivated audiences worldwide. In Without a Song, Chanticleer delves into the enduring power of music—its ability to move us forward, to hold us back, to inspire awe and stir the soul.
