DEUS EX MACHINA - SECULAR WORK FOR CHOIR + ORGAN - JUST MISSED
|
Sat April 27th, 8pm - James Memorial Chapel at Union Theological Seminary
Sun April 28th, 5pm - St Paul's Episcopal Church in Carroll Gardens The Chorus performed a thought-provoking program of secular work for choir and organ, featuring a fresh edition of former Composer-in-Residence Rex Isenberg's 2014 masterpiece 'Messiahs: False and True', a World Premiere from Composer-in-Residence Dale Trumbore and Vaughan Williams' gorgeous setting of Whitman 'Dirge for Two Veterans'. Nathan Taylor played on two very different pipe organs - each 'machine' brought its unique soul to both the Manhattan and Brooklyn performances. Vince Peterson and Dale Trumbore held Q&A sessions after each concert. Read 2 great interviews with Dale Trumbore where she talks about her premiere: icareifyoulisten.com National Sawdust Log Watch our in-depth composer interviews on YouTube for lots of great background on the themes that were explored in the two works by living composers:

Choral Chameleon is thrilled to share that our 5th Composer in Residence is Dale Trumbore.
Dale has composed 2 pieces for this Season and will be teaching at the Choral Chameleon Summer Institute in June 2019. A 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. |

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.
