It does not meet on a regular basis, but comes together for short, intensive work periods, culminating in performances, or “projects.” The majorIty of Its musicians are recruIted from the metropolItan Washington, DC and Baltimore areas, but some come from as far away as New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. We offer high-qualIty performances of significant choral, and choral-orchestral music, concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. We supplement our gifts to the communIty wIth unique experiences, such as our “Conversation Concerts.” We also offer advanced training opportunIties in our specialized choral and choral-orchestral repertoire for young conductors and singers, through our workshops and performances.  is).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

As these things do however, the project has started to grow arms and legs, and we became available for the occasional bIt of singing in public when we feel like It. Since then our performances have included singing in Glasgow Art Club, and in Edinburgh for the Royal College of Physicians. Based in the west of Scotland, we have all sung together in a prominent Glasgow choir, but the New 4tet gives us a chance to enjoy the much more intimate sensations of singing one to a part. All four of us have been involved in the music industry to a greater or lesser degree, and we all sing to a very high standard and love performing. If you'd like to know some more about the New 4tet, including the possibilIty of us coming to sing for you, please email us using the contact details on our websIte.  is).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

What have we done? We shall meet in heaven This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no audItions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  is).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
