Lorelei Ensemble is heralded for its “white-hot intensity..."
New York Times

Two acclaimed vocal ensembles, Lorelei and Cantus, will unite for a weekend of performances in a partnership between Yale Schwarzman Center and the Yale Glee Club exploring belonging, identity, and place through contemporary choral innovation. The first will be an hour-long program by Lorelei Ensemble including Morton Feldman’s Rothko Chapel which will feature guest artists, Cantus; Julius Eastman’s Colors with guest student artists from Peabody Conservatory; and Yale faculty member Katherine Balch’s songs and interludes. The second will be an hour-long version of Cantus’ touring show Land That I Love with Lorelei Ensemble joining Cantus on combined selections interspersed throughout the program.
