Ceremony of the Steps, a performance piece by artist Jace Clayton, highlights two ways in which people join voices and come together – in celebration and in protest. On March 16, the NU Madrigal Singers will perform a selection of their regular standards as well as a new arrangement composed by Clayton in partnership with the chorus. Through its melding of harmony and incessant repetition, Ceremony of the Steps features both a capella song and ambient loops of electronically-altered voices that blend the structure of choral compositions with the recurring chants for social change.
This performance will occur at MassArt Art Museum in the Stephen D. Paine Gallery, currently featuring the exhibition Jace Clayton: They Are Part. Free. Advance registration required.
About the Musicians:
The NU Madrigal Singers began as a group of Northeastern University students who wanted to create music together. Today, the group has evolved into an organization centered around a love of choral music and madrigals that fosters a friendly community of student musicians. With a varied repertoire ranging from madrigal love songs to contemporary choral works, the NU Madrigal Singers aim to provide Northeastern students the opportunity to engage with unique styles of music.
