The core of Choral Chameleon, the Ensemble, comprises twelve professional singers with a diversity of musical backgrounds in NYC. At the vanguard of new choral music and adventurous programming, the Ensemble is like America’s Test Kitchen for choral music, fearlessly experimenting and championing unexpected and new combinations of music.  

Most recently, the Ensemble premiered and recorded Ed Thompson's "Step Into the Night" - a twelve movement work with a jazz saxophone quartet that mixes genres in order to trace a narrative of overcoming hardship and joy in response to the pandemic of 2020.

The Ensemble also sings as the pro core of our chorus on a weekly basis and for all the chorus performances and other appearances.

The Ensemble expands to 16 members during The Choral Chameleon Summer Institute to comprise two lab choirs for more efficient reading and recording of new works.

Ensemble members for Choral Chameleon most often start out singing in our Chorus, but open auditions are held year round on an as-needed basis. If you are interested in being considered for the Choral Chameleon Ensemble, please reach out to us via the contact form
