Breaking Ground: Featuring PSU Chamber Choir and Fourth Wall Ensemble

The Portland State Chamber Choir kicks off its 50th anniversary season in signature style, bringing the acclaimed professional vocal ensemble Fourth Wall Ensemble to Portland for an evening of musical brilliance. Hailing from New York City, Fourth Wall Ensemble is a genre-bending group known for their fearless artistry and inventive programming. The program spans the centuries, from Claudio Monteverdi’s shimmering Renaissance harmonies to the genius of Portland’s own Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw. Breaking Ground promises to be a felicitous start to a milestone season for one of America’s finest university choirs.

Additional performance on November 15.

Note: The Male Ensemble Philippines, which was mentioned in some posters, will not be performing in this concert.
