Color: heard and seen. Music and painting to defy the mortal limits of art. Friday, November 22, 2019 | 8:00 PM Saturday, November 23, 2019 | 8:00 PM Irondale Center | Fort Greene, Brooklyn MAP The Chorus is returning to the amazing Irondale Center in Fort Green Brooklyn! For those who attended our BODY program in April 2018, you'll know you are in for a treat: the scale, atmosphere, acoustics, and ...the highly popular gallery bar! In 'Bigger Than My Body', we will be collaborating with visual artist Robyn Prezioso, who will create a unique oil on canvas artwork over the course of each concert. The musical program, full of contemporary colors and textures, reflects the artist's inner world, which is ultimately voiced on canvas. A treat for art and music lovers alike, the audience will be able to watch Robyn's work-in-progress projected onto a large screen.
