C4 is excited to be partnering with Poets Out Loud, a community of poetry at Fordham University at Lincoln Center, for a concert of choral music with Fordham's Voices Up! concert series. C4 composers Brian Mountford, Hilary Purrington, David See, and Bettina Sheppard will be writing new choral works on selected texts from the two winning full-length poetry volumes of Poets Out Loud's annual international competition: Julia Bouwsma's Midden (winner of the POL Prize, and named one of NPR's Best Books of 2018), and Henk Rossouw's Xamissa (winner of the POL Editor's Prize). In addition, C4 will premiere "Part Songs" by Lawrence Kramer, Fordham University professor and director of the Voices Up! series. Also on the program: works by Shavon Lloyd, Kala Pierson, and Karen Siegel.

About C4

The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective is a unique ensemble of singers, composers and conductors, performing pieces written within the last 25 years, premiering and commissioning new choral works, and mentoring emerging singers, composers, and conductors of today's choral music.

In a city teeming with exceptional vocal ensembles of every kind, C4 is a standout, not just because of their fine programming and unique collaborative structure, but also for their consistently beautiful and balanced sound, excellent precision, warmth, and energy.
~ 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
