Singers

ERIC S. BRENNER, soprano, is psyched as all get-out to begin his third year with Chanticleer. Growing up on Long Island, he was too shy to sing where anyone might hear him until he was 17. But the seeds for his musical development (and his hippie tendencies) were planted way back in the Summer of Love, at Woodstock, in utero. Recently, Mr. Brenner has been lucky enough to study, perform, and record with such groups as Early Music New York, New York Collegium, the Saint Thomas Choir, Voices of Ascension, Amnesia Wars (theatre/improv), Consensus (male quartet), and Toby Twining Music. Mr. Brenner remains a die-hard Mets fan (though their successes confuse him), and he is trying to remember how to play tennis and where he left his ohm. He also writes fiction of various shapes and sizes, though he is no longer seriously considering starting a blog.
