NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR COMPOSERS & CONDUCTORS
JUST MISSED! CHORUS: 'GOSHU ONDO SUITE' - NOVEMBER 17 & 18
|
The Chorus' collaborated with Jazz pianist and composer Eri Yamamoto, whose full-length piece 'Goshu Ondo Suite' premiered on November 17 & 18 and was recorded live for commercial release next year.
We were back at the studios of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, which was the setting for Nov 2016's 'The Telephone Hour', for a fabulous fusion of traditional Japanese culture and sensational jazz, accompanied by Eri Yamamoto Trio (Eri Yamamoto, Ikuo Takeuchi on drums and Dave Ambrosio on bass). There was a traditional dance party at the end, in which the audience also participated, and a foyer offering craft sake and the finest grade green tea. For a fun glimpse of our audience joining in the dance, check out this audience video we shared on Facebook. Check out our interview videos with Eri Yamamoto and links to two major interviews in New York jazz magazines on our CONCERTS PAGE. |
COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE: DALE TRUMBORE
|
Choral Chameleon is thrilled to announce that our 5th Composer in Residence is Dale Trumbore. Dale will be composing 2 pieces for this Season and will be teaching at the Choral Chameleon Summer Institute in June 2019.
A true rising star in the American choral compositional landscape, not only for her compositions but for her blogging talent and advocacy on behalf of living composers, Dale is someone we have been dying to work with for a very long time. If you heard her piece 'I Am Music' in our 'Spirit' or 'Storytime Part One' programs in recent seasons, you'll know you're in for a treat. Click HERE to read Dale's bio and an interview with Vince Peterson and the composer. |

Vince Peterson announced as the recipient of the 2018 Louis Botto Award for Innovative Action and Entrepreneurial Zeal.
The Louis Botto Award for Innovative Action and Entrepreneurial Zeal was established in memory of Louis Botto for his artistry, selfless service to the choral art, and entrepreneurial spirit in founding the men’s vocal ensemble Chanticleer. The award is given periodically to a mid-career choral leader who, through his or her work with a member ensemble of Chorus America, has demonstrated innovative action and entrepreneurial zeal in developing a professional or professional-core choral ensemble. Vince received his award at The Chorus America annual conference in Chicago in June 2018. |
