Last night we went with Colin, Sarah,
Taylor, and Rossy to see
Chanticleer, an all-male choral ensemble, perform
A Chanticleer Christmas. Ania and I have been going for five years now, and it's become a holiday tradition we look forward to each year. It's a somewhat different take on typical Christmas music, and as nice as it is to hear the recordings, the power and emotion they bring to the live performance is amazing!
There are still a few more performances left this year, but we specifically go to the one at
St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco, because its beauty and grandeur, along with amazing acoustics, complement and enhance the music so well. I'm sure the other performances are equally good, but I can't imagine a more fitting atmosphere than St. Ignatius to hear such lovely, moving music.
Going to see Chanticleer really gets us into the spirit of the season, and we look forward to continuing to share this holiday tradition with our friends and family, who add warmth and richness to a very pleasant evening of song and celebration of Christmas.
