COME BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THREE NEW WORKS PERFORMED BY ROOMFUL OF TEETH!
Two-time Grammy winners Roomful of Teeth present a performance featuring new music by some of today’s most visionary composers, including Christopher Cerrone, Mingjia Chen, and Eliza Bragg. The Church is thrilled to welcome the vocal ensemble back for a week-long residency as they workshop these three new works, in preparation for their premiere performance at The Church on Thursday, January 23, to be followed by a sold-out show at Zankel Hall presented by Carnegie Hall on Saturday, January 25 to include an additional world premiere new work by Gabriela Ortiz. This residency and performance will continue the group’s exploration of creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music using a continuously expanding vocabulary of singing techniques.
Help us welcome back the Roomful of Teeth ensemble: Estelí Gomez, Mingjia Chen, Eliza Bagg, Martha Cluver, Virginia Kelsey, Jodie Landau, Steven Bradshaw, Thann Scoggin, and Cameron Beauchamp, and join us for an unforgettable evening.
This residency is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Clack-clack-clackity-clack, ping! It’s time for different type of music in a whole new key at The Church as we welcome audiences to a live performance with the Boston Typewriter Orchestra. By way of rhythmic typewriter manipulation, this collective of keystroke musicians entertains audiences of all ages with performance, comedy, and satire. The rhythm-heavy performance will see typewriters mimicking a wide variety of sounds, from bongo drum grooves to heavy metal (no pun intended) jams. For more than 20 years, the Boston Typewriter Orchestra has been the only typewriter orchestra in existence, and the evening is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind experience.
Experience the love in harmony this Valentine’s day as we explore the profound beauty of the natural world with Mary Edwards. With her warm presence, the internationally renowned composer and environmental sound artist will take us on a sonic journey inspired by the Arctic and beyond, connecting us deeply with the rhythms of our planet. The pianist will be joined by her quartet to create an intimate evening of love for the natural world.
Reflections in Music returns to The Church with internationally acclaimed basso Matthew Rose. The singer, who performs frequently in great opera houses of the world, including over 100 performances to date with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, will fill The Church’s vaulted hall with the melancholy beauty of Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise. He will be joined by distinguished pianist Brian Zeger.
Join us for an unforgettable performance as Rose sings the poetic tale of a traveler heading out on a solitary journey through the snow, in winter, to come to terms with the loss of a great love.
