Ticket prices $47 / $37 / $27
Called “the world’s reigning male chorus” by The New Yorker, the San Francisco-based, Grammy Award-winning ensemble Chanticleer is celebrating its 38th season. Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis A. Botto, who performed until 1989 and served as Artistic Director until his death in 1997. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for their “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,” Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for the seamless blend of its 12 male voices (ranging from soprano to bass), and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz and popular genres, as well as contemporary composition. William Fred Scott begins his tenure as Chanticleer’s fifth Music Director in 2015.

Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra
Thursday, February 4, 2016 at 7:30 pm
Ticket prices $87 / $72 / $62 / $27
Ernst Van Tiel, Artistic Director and Conductor
Founded in 1945 on the heels of postwar Polish independence, The Polish Baltic Philharmonic is the largest music institution in northern Poland. As it exists and thrives today, the Philharmonic represents an amalgamation of international and historical influences (and the lofty passions that witnessed tragedy and drove revolutions) while still capturing the prideful stoicism of contemporary Poland and the larger Baltic Sea coast.
Ernst van Tiel performed just about all the important works from the symphonic repertoire, but in particular his interpretations of music from the 19th and 20th century provided him an international reputation. His activities abroad include guest conductorships among others at the orchestra of the Teatro Communale in Bologna, where he introduced works of contemporary Dutch composers, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra with a program based on the music of Duke Ellington, the Royal Flemish Philharmonic, the National Orchestra of Belgium and several orchestras in Germany and China.

The international Irish dance phenomenon is back by popular demand in Riverdance — The 20th Anniversary World Tour. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures in an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song. Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland — in rock, music, theatre and film — nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance. Riverdance — The 20th Anniversary World Tour is composed by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan, and comes directly to North America from a sold-out run across Europe and Asia.
“The show is quite simply incredible. A phenomenon of historic proportions.”
—The Washington Times
