The Choral Chameleon Institute is an eight-day intensive workshop in New York City, designed to immerse emerging composers and conductors of choral music in the intricacies of the choral idiom in a nurturing environment surrounded by respected professionals. It gives students an opportunity to explore and experiment with writing and conducting techniques in a "best-case scenario". During the course of the institute, many new pieces of choral music are cultivated and ultimately publicly performed, with live recording of the concert. Standards of the choral repertoire serve as a springboard for young conductors to work on challenging matters of gesture, musicianship, and rehearsal technique. Generous lab and podium time is given to all participants to ensure maximum practical and hands-on experience. The Choral Chameleon Institute also places heavy emphasis on ear training and analysis as means of deep, joyful discovery and informed, innovative interpretation.

Russian Chamber... | Performance
The Russian Chamber Chorus of New York (RCCNY) presents a second concert in its continuing celebration of Rachmaninoff's 140th birthday, including sacred and secular compositions that are among Rachmaninoff's most beautiful and least well-known in the US. In April, RCCNY honors the versatile genius of the great Rachmaninoff. His remarkable spirit is reflected in selections from Vespers and Choral Concerto, the mysterious melancholy of his famous Vocalise, the miraculous transformation of the soul and its renewal in the cantata Spring, and the deep emotions and poetic images of nature in Six Choruses for Women's Voices, written when Rachmaninoff was just 22 years old.

18th and Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Theodora W. Ashmead | Performance
Spanning 100 years of Russian choral music, this concert presents two different worlds of sacred composition, one composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, his Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and the other a century later by Alfred Schnittke, his Choir Concerto. One an insider, the other an outcast, one composer commissioned by the Tsar, and the other composed under communist rule, while struggling to achieve artistic freedom. Hear why these pieces are so similar yet so uniquely different. This is the first time the works have been presented together in Philadelphia and it is also The Philadelphia Singers inaugural performance at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, a beautiful example of Roman-Corinthian architecture.
