DEUS EX MACHINA - SECULAR WORK FOR CHOIR + ORGAN - NEXT WEEK!
|
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 returns this month with organist Nathan Taylor for 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 will be playing on two very different pipe organs - each 'machine' will bring its unique soul to both the Manhattan and Brooklyn performances. (We even have the 'Organ Nerd' ticket that gets you discounted access to both concerts!) Join Vince Peterson and Dale Trumbore for a Q&A after the concerts. Read 2 great interviews with Dale Trumbore: icareifyoulisten.com National Sawdust Log Watch our in-depth composer interviews on YouTube for lots of great background on the themes that are explored in these works:

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 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.

Vince Peterson announced as the recipient of the 2018 Louis Botto Award for Innovative Action and Entrepreneurial Zeal.

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.
