Singers

ERIC ALATORRE, bass, joined Chanticleer in 1990. The grandson of Mexican immigrants, he hails from Southern California, and attended CSU Fullerton and San Francisco State University. Before joining Chanticleer, he sang with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus. Mr. Alatorre, well known for his hirsute facial ornamentation, is the most veteran member of the current ensemble, having sung with Chanticleer for over half of its 30 years. He still enjoys being able to perform all over the country and the world, which gives him plenty of time to explore his other passion: food. A part-time hedonist and full-time wine enthusiast, he is always looking for another wonderful dining experience to share with friends and his fellow singers on the road. His other passions include playing with his computer (Mac!) eating French food, learning the subtleties of the Badisch dialect, and enjoying being married to his wonderful wife Dorothee.
