Hear selections from new releases with our weekly Choral Featured Album Fridays at 11 a.m. central on the Choral Stream.
This week on the Choral Featured Album, we present Statements, the new release from the Yale Choral Artists. Comprising 10 tracks, the album showcases works by Yale composers David Lang, Ted Hearne, and Hannah Lash. The choir is joined by the Yale Philharmonia, Eric Brenner (countertenor), Lydia Consilvio (cor anglais), and composer Hannah Lash (harp).
Yale Choral Artists (from official site)
The Yale Choral Artists is a professional choir recently founded by the Yale School of Music and the Yale Glee Club to enhance and enrich Yale's strong commitment to the choral arts. The choir is a project-based ensemble comprised of leading singers from around the country and is directed by School of Music faculty member Jeffrey Douma. Current members of the Choral Artists also perform in the ranks of such acclaimed ensembles as the Trinity Wall Street Choir, Chanticleer, the Handel and Haydn Society Chorus, the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus, Voices of Ascension, Conspirare, and many others, and are also leading concert soloists, particularly in the area of early music.
