Step into the body electric, where music is not just heard but lived—conveyed through breath, bone, and being. The Ensemble Singers weave a musical tapestry inspired by the bold assertion of self in the poetry of Walt Whitman and the belief that within every body is a song.
The concert draws from six decades of the choir’s sonic memory, with the world premiere of a new work from Artistic Director Jennifer Tham and choir alumni Diana Soh and Americ Goh. Fragments from its history converge in the present and culminate in an invitation for the audience to become part of the music-making collective.
My voice goes after what my eyes cannot reach,
With the twirl of my tongue I encompass worlds and volumes of worlds.
—Walt Whitman, Song of myself (1892)
We want all your voices—head, chest, morning, speaking. Bring come. Live a little new music with us.
