Chorus of All Souls - November 2 at Abrons Arts Center

Experiments in Opera and Vision into Art present 'Chorus of All Souls'
at the Abrons Art Center on Saturday November 2, 2013 at 8:00 pm.
Featured composers are John Zorn, Jessica Pavone, Matthew Welch and
Jason Cady. For ticket and information visit experimentsinopera.com

In celebration of the Day of All Souls and the close of
Hallowmas, Experiments in Opera,
in partnership with VisionIntoArt,
presents a semi-staged production of John Zorn’s The Holy
Visions, an exhilarating choral opera based on the writings and work of
the medieval mystic
and composer, Hildegard von Bingen. 

’Chorus of All Souls’
will also include the premiere of
When No One Around You is There by Jessica Pavone which utilizes the chorus
as an abstract
metaphor for the human predicament.

And two semi-staged choral
operas: Jason Cady’s
Nostalgia Kills You, a comedy about a man and his zombie
ex-girlfriend and Matthew Welch’s
Reanimator Requiem which merges the mass for the dead
with H.P. Lovecraft’s cult classic.

November 2 | 8pm

Chorus of All Souls opens Experiments in Opera’s 2013-14 Season
and yearlong residency at the

Abrons Arts Center.  The residency will continue with a
Radio Operas (February 28 – March 1, 2014),

a showcase of opera shorts for the radio, and the premiere of
Brother Brother (May 2-3, 2014),

an evening length opera that has been in development with EiO
for the past two seasons.

These mainstage programs will be augmented throughout the year
by supporting videos, photos

and writings that will help to contextualize the works in
progress and by three free Opera in Dialogue public programs aimed to build
dialogue between the composers, writers, performers, directors and designers
working in the hybrid space of experimental opera. Experiments in Opera will
partner with online magazine CultureBot.org
for these public programs. Opera in Dialogue #1 will take place

Sunday, October 27 from 7 – 9 PM in the Experimental Theater.  Opera in Dialogue #1
