 Sxip Shirey and Coco Karol with Choral Chameleon at FERUS Festival at National Sawdust in 2018 Composer Sxip Shirey and choreographer Coco Karol are bringing their immersive choral installation 'The Gauntlet' back to NYC this Summer, as part of National Sawdust Projects. Hundreds of singers, from numerous choirs, will be participating. There will be two performances on Saturday August 3rd, at 4pm and 7pm in the Plaza. Our singers have enjoyed being Sxip's choral instrument, on a much smaller scale, on The High Line, Central Park, St Paul's Carroll St and twice at National Sawdust's Ferus Festival, and we've been working with Sxip and Coco as they workshop this site-specific version. Coco Karol was our 10th Season collaborator, developing the movement for our 'Body' concert.  Altos, Tenors, and Basses, want to join Choral Chameleon’s Chorus? Sign up for one of our auditions on September 4 or 5, 2019!  Choral Chameleon's first commercially-available recording is coming soon! Aum Fidelity, Eri Yamamoto's go-to jazz-specialist label will be releasing the full-length 'Goshu Ondo Suite', which the Chorus premiered in November 2018. We're also working on a background film featuring an interview with Eri Yamamoto and Vince Peterson, featuring footage of the premiere to accompany the release. We will share the album release date as soon as we have it, currently slated for September.
