Angel City Chorale (ACC) reunites with Grammy Award-winner Christopher Tin in the studio in February and onstage in April at Carnegie Hall for the World Premiere of The Drop that Contained the Sea.
ACC is honored to join Tin in the studio February 6-9, 2014, to perform on the sequel to his Grammy Award-winning album Calling All Dawns. Tin’s new work, The Drop that Contained the Sea, is a new song cycle based on ancient texts about water. ACC will be recording with Tin at famed West Los Angeles studio The Village. The album is scheduled to release in April or May of 2014.
Tin’s new classical/world music fusion work, in multiple languages, features the return of many of the guest artists who performed on Calling All Dawns, and several new ones as well. In addition to ACC, performing on the new album are Kardeş Türküler from Turkey, the Grammy-winning Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares, the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, Naminjin from Mongolia, fado singer Dulce Pontes, Roopa Mahadevan from India, a cappella quartet Anonymous 4 from New York City, and the Grammy-nominated Schola Cantorum from Norway. The recording also features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which collaborated with Tin in October and December, 2013, at Abbey Road Studios in London.
In addition to singing on the new album, members of ACC will be among the 200 voices onstage at the World Premiere of The Drop that Contained the Sea at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Sunday, April 13, 2014. The event is organized by Distinguished Concerts International New York and will be conducted by their Artistic Director Jonathan Griffith.
