MORE ABOUT OUR 11TH SEASON & THE WORK WE DO
Examples of how your support this Fall will help the ground-breaking work of Choral Chameleon:
 
Composer-in-Residence Program:
We’re one of the few choirs in America to actively commission a composer multiple times over the course of a year to create new work.  This Season’s Resident composer is Dale Trumbore, herself one of the most in-demand choral composers and active advocates for living composers today.  In her own words “This residency feels like a safe space for me to take bold creative risks, and as a composer, that's the mark of a dream collaboration”.  You can read about the work your donation will help to fund on our Composer in Residence page.
 
Spring Concert Program & Recording ‘Deus Ex Machina’:
For the first time, Choral Chameleon is dedicating an entire concert to new secular work for choir & pipe organ.  There will be 3 World Premieres in this program (including the result of Vince Peterson’s commissioning consortium from last year’s Kickstarter!) and we are hoping to rent a great Manhattan space in parallel to St Paul’s in Brooklyn to expose this new repertoire to more audience.
 
Ensemble Touring:
The enthusiastic and warm response the Ensemble received in Season 10 from the communities outside of NYC who had invited Choral Chameleon to perform told us that it is time to bring our music to more people who have not yet heard what we do.  Not all of the communities who are inviting us to perform can cover our professional musician’s fees in full and we may need some assistance to cover costs. 

Summer Institute for Composers and Conductors:
As one of the leading Summer Programs for choral writing and conducting in the world, we want to keep fees at a manageable level for students while continuing to offer an unparalleled quality of teaching environment and lab choir interaction.  We also want to continue to offer the concert at the end of the Institute to the public for free.  This year's concert will be on Friday June 28th.

ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT CHORAL CHAMELEON
FINANCIAL:

Choral Chameleon relies on a combination of revenues, not just ticket revenues from live performances, dues and grants.
Individual donor support is critical for us to continue our important and influential work across many boroughs of New York City and beyond.

​Make a Tax-Deductible Contribution To Choral Chameleon Today!

This work includes:
  • Preparation and Presentation of groundbreaking choral music programming, dealing with real human themes for real people that require exceptionally flexible and open-minded artists.
  • Guaranteeing our audience will experience premieres of exciting new choral music in every season. 
  • Ability to offer year-long composer residencies.
  • Freedom to explore secular contexts for choral music alongside the spiritual, to provoke reassessment of what a choral music concert can feel like, utilizing unexpected venues, videos and collaborations with other disciplines.
  • Unparalleled educational experiences for emerging composers and conductors at our Summer Institute and providing guest conducting rotations.
  • Increasing awareness of important social issues in our shared community through the medium of ensemble singing.
  • Promoting personal health and well-being through choral singing as a sustainable life-practice for avocational and professional singers alike.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO SUPPORT CHORAL CHAMELEON

1. Choral Chameleon is more than just a choir. The Summer Institute is more than just a Summer course.
We are cultivating a choral community - one that is changing the lives of all who take part in it.

2. We are making PEOPLE MUSIC - presenting music about real human themes that people relate to; using people as the instruments - and all that comes with them.

3. We have commissioned, nurtured and produced OVER 150 WORLD PREMIERES in our first nine years - an unprecedented number, and a major statement about the support of new concert music for voices!  This is one of the key reasons why Choral Chameleon has been recognized nationally by the choral community in our winning of the Chorus America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming in 2015 and why founder Vince Peterson was awarded the Chorus America Louis Botto Award for Innovative Action and Entrepreneurial Zeal.

4. We are actively using this art for social justice - in our periodical free outreach concert series around themes such as tolerance and climate change.

5. We are keeping people connected to each other person-to-person in a technological age which is moving at the speed of light!
