The Vocal Area Network Concert Calendar focuses solely on vocal ensemble and choir performances around the New York area. This information is compiled from flyers, web sites and sources within the performing groups. We strive to make it as accurate as possible, but it's always a good idea to make a confirming phone call. After all, groups have the right to make last-minute changes. All locations are in Manhattan unless otherwise noted. Listings posted within the last week are indicated by New listing. Summer sings / open sings / choral read-throughs are indicated by dates in green.

For an abbreviated version of the calendar without all the details, see the Concert Calendar Index.

David Chesky's The Pig, The Farmer, and The Artist
(Opera)
A biting satire on our contemporary world. It attacks our present-day cultural malaise tangentially, making use of "the pig" allegorically, and, in doing so, mocks and pokes cruel fun at the inverted values of our materialistic society. In the tradition of Gulliver's Travels, the composer has attempted to break through our world's impoverished consciousness and lay bare society's frantic but ultimately empty pursuit at meaning.
