Chanticleer was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis Botto , who sang with the group until 1989. Originally, the group contained ten singers, but its size has varied from eight to twelve. Currently, Chanticleer comprises twelve men, including two basses , one baritone , three tenors , and six countertenors (three altos and three sopranos ). Botto found that much of the medieval and Renaissance music he was studying was not being performed, and, because of this, he formed the group to perform this music with an all-male ensemble. In 2000, Joseph Jennings (Artistic Director) and Chanticleer won a «Grammy» Award for Best Small Ensemble PerformanceIn November 2007, whilst in its 30th Anniversary Season, Chanticleer was named «Musical America» 2008 Ensemble of the year. This marks the first time a vocal ensemble has received this award.Additionally, on October 9, 2008, Chanticleer became the first vocal ensemble to be inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame in Cincinnati.
