    An Evening in the Galleries with the UW Chorale

    Join University of Washington Associate Professor Giselle Wyers as she directs the UW Chorale in an evening of various harmonized incantations and melodies that she composed inspired by textual ideas and conversations with Ann Hamilton and her exhibition the common S E N S E.
    Chorale members will also present short newly composed melodies, written in honor of specimens and garments on display. The Chorale will chant ancient hymns and sing folk tunes alongside the field of bullroarers, accompanied by sounds of a didgeridoo. Lastly, the Chorale will present a newly composed setting of texts from Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, with texts organized via Ann Hamilton's concordance computer program.
