Brooklyn Sounds Concert Series Invocation and Dance - Chameleonic and Choral Chameleon

To kick off the new season throughout the month of October, members of Chameleonic and Choral Chameleon will present a free public outreach performance commemorating the 15-year anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death. This program, by turns poignant and joyful, will celebrate life and the beautiful diversity of our community while raising awareness about important social issues that affect us all. Come and hear David Conte's Elegy for Matthew and two Whitman settings by Conte and Michael Hennagin: Invocation and Dance and Give Me the Splendid Silent Sun. Artistic Director Vince Peterson tops off the program with his surprising setting of The Carpenters' timeless song Top of the World. Please bring everyone you know and share this experience with us!
