Grammy-winning ensemble Chanticleer<\/a> will star in an upcoming event that also includes Texas A&M University and College Station High School contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The all-male, a cappella group will perform with the the Texas A&M Century Singers<\/a> during the concert on Thursday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at Rudder Theatre. An oil painting titled \u201cPrima Muse,\u201d created by Dmitri Koustov<\/a>, senior lecturer in the Visualization program, will be onstage during the performance. And two choral ensembles from College Station High School will have a pre-concert performance at 6:15 p.m. in the Rudder Exhibit Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event is co-sponsored by the Texas A&M School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a> and the Friends of Chamber Music of Bryan-College Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elena Reece, artistic director for Friends of Chamber Music, said the San Francisco-based Chanticleer performed in Bryan-College Station in 1992, and she is excited to see the group return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is an amazing opportunity for college students and high school students to engage with this stellar group on a more personal level,\u201d Reece said. \u201cChanticleer will rehearse with the Century Singers on the day of the performance and prepare the students to sing with them onstage later that night. It\u2019s the first educational collaboration at such a high level of student involvement ever organized by Friends of Chamber Music, and we hope that it\u2019ll be an inspirational experience for all the students personally engaged with this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
