CHASING LIGHT is a performance art installation and exhibition of movement, light, and live music. The work traverses 16 unique environments in a non-linear, non-narrative, immersive space. Written for a chamber ensemble of six players, and inspired by photography, the collection contemplates the human experience of light phenomena through sound and experiential space. Concepts ranging from organic and otherworldly bioluminescence, to the simple yet romantic silhouette are individually examined in vivid detail using both atmospherics and the human body as a canvas.

Choral Chameleon Chorus makes its Vermont debut with a sound bath: a unique, healing choral experience. Collaborating with certified sound healers, the audience will be surrounded by the singers of the chorus and “bathed” in the layered sounds of voices, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and more. This intensive sound experience is designed to wash over the body for healing, peace, and restorative contemplation. Because of the unique audience seating configuration designed for this concert experience, capacity will be limited. Learn more about this one-of-a-kind event. Choral Chameleon will also return to the MAC in the spring for a more traditional concert.

$25/20/10/5 - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

RSO’s second concert of the season opens with Passacaglia for Orchestra by Anton Webern, followed by Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring soloist Ye Ji Kim, winner of the 2022 RSO Concerto Competition. Contrasting with the traditional Austrian/German-rooted orchestral sound in the first half, the program will conclude with Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5, one of his most-performed symphonic works. Conducted by our new Director of Orchestral Activities and Engagement Ching-Chun Lai.

Our Music Committee presents a Choral WASH, the first one in the town of Westport. It is a journey in sound in which music is used as the means to journey. In order to achieve this audience members are invited to lie down on their yoga mat, wear a blindfold, and experience music in a different way. Choral Chameleon, one of the premier New York choral groups, will sing several pieces and between selections, professional sound therapists will offer short improvisations. One is able to take in and engage with sound in a different way as it washes over you and through you.

For more information, contact Ed Thompson at the church.  Space is limited to 45 people. There will be a small number of chairs available for those who are not able to use a mat. The price for each ticket is $40.  Please sign up in advance; there will be no at-the-door ticket sales. Requirements: please bring a yoga mat or something to lie on as well as eye covering and a pillow (if desired). This event is designed for adults or teens with parental accompaniment.
