Electric - June 8 & 10, 2017

Our June concerts were a great success, as we performed works with an all-star electrified ensemble:
  • Anthony Korf's Cantata, for chorus, violin, guitar, bass, keyboard and percussion
  • Stephen Paulus' Poemas de Amor, for chorus and percussion
  • Artemisz Polonyi's Te, for chorus, guitar, bass and drums
  • Jonathan David's The Hounds of Spring, for chorus, guitar, bass and drums
along with a cappella works by Casey Rule, Karen Siegel and Nicholas Rich. Thanks to everyone who came out to hear us.

C4 joined the lineup of this year's New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, reprising two pieces from our November concerts: Kaija Saariaho's Tag des Jahrs and Brian Mountford's Downfall, with live electronics and video.
Also at these concerts... C4's Annual Silent Auction featured the works of Zsuzsanna Ardó.
All proceeds to C4.

About C4

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
