"Exhilarating ... the choral songs at the heart of this work are performed with confidence, energy and tenderness ... the sheer beauty of their singing was captivating."
- The New York Times
The Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus makes its recording debut with
Black Mountain Songs, a highlight of the ensemble's 25th anniversary season. This expansive choral work celebrates and rekindles the utopian spirit of Black Mountain College, where iconic artists including Willem de Kooning, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Merce Cunningham, Josef and Anni Albers, Franz Kline and Robert Rauschenberg converged and collaborated in the mid-20th century. Black Mountain Songs features pieces by The National's Bryce Dessner, who also created the project, Richard Reed Parry from Arcade Fire, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, Jherek Bischoff, John King, Nico Muhly, Aleksandra Vrebalov and a collaboration between Dessner and Tim Hecker.
