Now in its 10th Season, Choral Chameleon is currently Group-in-Residence at National Sawdust, the ground breaking music incubator and performance space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that opened its doors in 2015. They are the first choir to be offered this Residency.

Winner of the ASCAP/Chorus America award for Adventurous Programming, Choral Chameleon, is known for championing New Music for voices within the context of eclectic mixed-genre thematic programs which combine the familiar with the unfamiliar and which are often presented with non-traditional staging.

Founded in 2008, by Artistic Director Vince Peterson, the Company now encompasses: a roster of professional ensemble singers, a volunteer chorus of 30-40 and an annual week-long Summer Institute for 15 emerging composers and conductors hosted in Brooklyn.

The culture of the organization marries informality, loving support and joyful curiosity with the expectation of solidly technical musicianship, constant learning and openness towards the unexpected.

Guest appearances last season included: ‘Taylor Mac: A 24-Decade History of Popular Music’, Opera America’s ‘New Opera Showcase’ and collaborations with National Sawdust Curators/Artists-in-Residence Sxip Shirey, Caroline Polachek and R.B. Schlather.
