“Chanticleer fascinates and enthrals for much the same reason a fine chocolate or a Rolls Royce does: through luxurious perfection.” (Los Angeles Times)
Vilnius’ audience will be treated to the works by Italian, French, Flemish and German Renaissance masters, 20th–21st c. American, Irish, French, Hungarian, Chinese, Cuban and Dominican academic music as well as folksongs, popular songs and spirituals.
