2023 - Providence, RI
Grace Church

Commissioned by FirstWorks, this site-specific performance installation took place over the course of three nights at the historic Grace Episcopal Church in downtown Providence, RI. This new artwork explores three environments through an acoustic vocal ensemble, digital audio manipulation, video projection and dynamic lighting. The experience features a new composition for vocal ensemble by pioneering composer, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist Kitty Brazelton, drawing text from a guided meditation by Jack Kornfield entitled "Meditation on Letting Go".

Featuring vocalists: Barbara Hill, Teri Kowiak, Eric Christopher Perry, Stephan Griffin, and Nathan Halbur
