🎶 What a Weekend at LONG PLAY!

We are still buzzing from an incredible afternoon of music this past Saturday, May 2, at the BRIC Stoop as part of the Bang on a Can LONG PLAY Festival!
Our Concert Ensemble took the stage to perform a stunning, all-commissioned program featuring world-renowned contemporary voices.

Led by Founder & Artistic Director Dianne Berkun Menaker, our choristers performed an evocative repertoire:

- "so quietly" and "Its Motion Keeps" by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw
- "Truth is told, not fed" and "A Space Exploration with No Suit" by Alev Lenz
- The WORLD PREMIERE of "in atlantis," a deeply moving piece exploring climate data and emotional landscapes, alongside "Bubbles" by Aleksandra Vrebalov

A huge thank you to Bang on a Can and all the audience members who packed the BRIC Stoop to share this celebration of new music with us. It was a beautiful afternoon exploring truth, resilience, and our connection to the world around us.
