2024 Premieres WorkshopC4: The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective is pleased to announce PREMIERES, a series of two workshops intended to foster growth in choral composition by giving guidance and feedback with regards to the revision process. C4 will present the selected works in public concerts on Saturday, October 19, 2024 and Saturday, December 14, 2024 in New York City.
The PREMIERES workshops will offer composers the opportunity to have their piece rehearsed and performed by the C4 Ensemble in New York City, receiving guidance from the group along the way. This fee-based workshop will allow for composers to make changes to their score as needed throughout the rehearsal process, culminating in a New York City premiere AND a concert recording of their piece. Space is limited, but all submitted scores will be considered. If you are unable to travel to New York City, you will be able to take part in the workshops remotely. This is an educational opportunity for composers who are new to choral composition or who are looking to improve their skills in this area. For composers who are looking to have their works performed without feedback, we welcome submissions at info@C4ensemble.org. The deadline for submission is Sunday, June 30, 2024. Spring 2024 Concert

~ Lauren Alfano, I Care If You Listen
A highlight was Niimi’s Concerto for Chorus (Bios)...which was given a scintillating account by 18 singers in the ensemble C4, with Timothy Brown conducting...[T]his nine-minute a cappella work for mixed chorus featured much divisi writing and complex polyrhythms that Brown and the singers transformed into exhilarating vocal pyrotechnics.
~ John Fleming, Classical Voice North America
Their subtly attuned awareness of each others' musical movements makes their technical virtuosity seem near effortless. ~ Jean Ballard Terepka, Theatre Scene
They seem to revel in the challenges other choirs avoid like the plague. ... The group's dynamic is a lesson in exceeding expectations. ~ Christian Carey, Sequenza 21
