Humans look to the stars as beacons to orient ourselves and guide us on the right path, reminding us of our relative smallness and place in the vast universe with their ancient beauty and steadfast light. We search the sky for the constellations they form, creating a larger context for each star, to which we attribute meaning. Though they are always present, we only see them at night, when we’ve rotated away from our own star, the source of life on our planet. Similarly, we rely on the strength and light of others when our own light is obscured or dimmed by the struggles of life. The constellations we form with others provide the strength we all need to carry on through those struggles.
In Constellations, the individual voices of Brooklyn Treble Choir join as a sonic constellation to create music that cannot be produced by a single being, singing works about stars, literal and metaphorical, and the night sky. Join us as we gaze in wonder at the collective power and beauty while simultaneously shining from within.
