PHILIP GLASS 'MADRIGAL OPERA' AT NATIONAL SAWDUST, STAGE DIRECTED BY R. B. SCHLATHER, MUSIC DIRECTED BY VINCE PETERSON
"In the weightless reading by the violinist Johnny Gandelsman, the violist William Frampton and the vocal ensemble Choral Chameleon , the music unfolded in contemplative beauty, with the juxtaposition of the instruments’ throaty individuality and the even-tempered coolness of the voices creating just enough tension to sustain interest." Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, New York Times

"..stellar vocal ensemble Choral Chameleon" "Providing drama during the first half of the performance was a tension between Gandelsman’s muscular exertions and the cool, unblemished flow of Choral Chameleon’s singing." Steve Smith, The Log Journal.com

INTRODUCING OUR 4TH COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE REX ISENBERG
You might recognize Rex from last year's Summer Institute faculty or as the composer of ''Messiahs False and True': the monumental choral work performed by The Cecilia Chorus of New York at our joint concert at The Church of the Holy Trinity back in March 2016.
Rex accepted the challenge of creating 3 new works for this season's highly diverse concert themes for both chorus and ensemble voices. We are two down, one to go. You can hear 'The Beautiful' in June at our concerts 'Around and Around'.
