The Cambridge Chamber Singers and The Boston New Music Initiative Present: Music of Speech

The Cambridge Chamber Singers and The Boston New Music Initiative are thrilled to present a joint concert entitled Music of Speech. BNMI performs works by living composers that use the spoken word in various ways, running the gamut from pre-recorded speech to collective speech. The highlight will be the world premiere of Strange Birds by Ania Vu, winner of BNMI’s 9th Annual Commissioning Competition.
Performing together, CCS and BNMI offer a diverse set of choral works, including accompanied Monteverdi madrigals, Rheinberger’s romantic Die Nacht, Larsen’s scat Dance Set, and Jobim’s jazzy Double Rainbow. The featured work – a 2020 joint commission by the two ensembles – is On the Nature of Things, by competition winner Andrew Davis.

Saturday, June 4, 2022 at 8:00 pm – University Lutheran Church, 66 Winthrop St in Cambridge, MA
