Princeton University Concerts is set to present Chanticleer in a special event performance “A Chanticleer Christmas.” The program will feature a cappella choral music, ranging from Renaissance masterworks to roof-raising spirituals on Dec. 7, 2024 in the Princeton University Chapel.
Before the concert, PUC will host a Do-Re-Meet LGBTQIA+ & Allies Mingle in the form of a festive “ugly sweater party” at the historic Maclean House on Princeton University’s campus. Chanticleer first came to PUC in October 2023, engaging with the community in multiple ways such as inviting singers of all ages and abilities to sing alongside as part of PUC’s free annual Chamber Jam conducted by Artistic Director Tim Keeler, singing for one of PUC’s free Live Music Meditation events, and performing a concert at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. In a statement, PUC Director Marna Seltzer said, “Chanticleer’s unique ties to our community have made their engagement with our audiences feel even more intimate and meaningful.
I can’t wait to hear their gorgeous holiday program in the special atmosphere of the Princeton University Chapel within the warmth of our music-loving community, and for this communal spirit to begin even before the concert at our Do-Re-Meet event!” Categories.
