Vocal superheroes sing Pulitzer winners
Roomful of Teeth – once described by the New York Times as a ‘musical club on ecstasy’ – don’t look beyond borders, they simply ignore them. And with success. Their mix of genres and vocal styles produced a substantial portfolio of new music and won them a Grammy. Caroline Shaw wrote her Pulitzer Prize winning Partita for 8 Voices especially for and with her RoT colleagues. In his The Little Match Girl Passion, David Lang retells Andersen’s heart-breaking fairy tale in Bach-Passion-form.
