[Syracuse, NY] – Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University is thrilled to announce a unique musical event, “The Lorelei Ensemble,” as part of the esteemed Malmgren Concert Series. This highly anticipated performance will take place on Sunday, March 24th, at 4 PM, showcasing the unparalleled virtuosity of the human voice through innovative and bold programming.
The Lorelei Ensemble, under the artistic direction of founder Beth Willer, is celebrated for its radiant sound and impeccable musicality, earning accolades from The New York Times for its “full-bodied and radiant sound” and from Gramophone Magazine for its “stunning precision of harmony, intonation, and… spectacular virtuosity.” Lorelei Ensemble’s mission is to challenge and expand the repertoire for women’s and treble voices through collaboration with today’s leading composers, bringing new works to life that reflect and challenge our world.
Founded in Boston in 2007, Lorelei Ensemble has quickly risen to the forefront of the global music scene, commissioning over 65 new works that showcase the extraordinary flexibility and power of women’s voices. The ensemble’s program for the Malmgren Series, titled “Look Up,” will feature new works by composers such as Christopher Cerrone and Elijah David Smith, among others, further highlighting Lorelei’s commitment to innovative and culturally relevant programming.
Lorelei Ensemble’s contributions to music and education span across performances with renowned orchestras, appearances at celebrated venues, and impactful residencies with young artists at leading universities. Their work not only showcases the beauty and versatility of the human voice but also empowers the next generation of artists to become creative leaders.
The Malmgren Concert Series of Hendricks Chapel has been made possible by a generous gift from Syracuse University alumna Ester Malmgren to Hendricks Chapel in 1991. The series offers the Syracuse community the highest quality of arts with free and open admission. The series includes several concerts each academic year at Hendricks Chapel, many of which feature the organ, Ester Malmgren’s favorite instrument.
Complimentary parking is available in the Irving Garage. For more information on this and other Hendricks Chapel events, visit chapel.syracuse.edu. For accommodations, please call the chapel at 315.443.2901.
