The seductive and irresistible songs of the sirens – sometimes fateful, sometimes fatal – fill Chanticleer’s 35th anniversary program.  Renowned Chinese composer Chen Yi sounds the call in her own inimitable language, and celebrated Irish composer Michael McGlynn channels the song of the spirits of the Blasket Sound.  With these world premieres will be works by Bates, Vaughan Williams, Barber, Gesualdo, Corigliano, and more.

 

General admission tickets for Chanticleer cost $15 in advance, or $20 at the door (availability permitting).  Previous presentations of Chanticleer on this series have drawn capacity crowds; pre-ordering is strongly encouraged.  For more information on the Music in a Great Space series, call 412.682.4300, or visit www.shadysidepres.org.
