The New Consort, a trailblazing vocal chamber ensemble, makes its Merkin Hall debut in a concert celebrating the release of its first album, Flung from the Garden. The evening, co-presented by Acis Productions and ChamberQUEER, traverses repertoire from the Renaissance to the present day around its centerpiece, Jonathan Woody's LAMENTATION, a Tudor-inspired work commissioned for the ensemble that explores the complexity of the queer experience in 2026 America. Drawing on themes of otherness, exclusion, and hope for reconciliation, the program also features students from Kaufman Music Center's Special Music School, who have taken part in ensemble-singing workshops with The New Consort. Winners of The American Prize in Chamber Music, the ensemble explores the roles musical ritual and community can play in 21st-century lives.
