SUMMARY:Alkemie presents "Panoply at Jalopy"
DESCRIPTION:Alkemie returns to the Jalopy stage in Brooklyn to perform musi
 c from their album A FINE COMPANION with opening sets by friends Sibyl and
  Smoke Ring— two groups who also embrace experimentation alongside histo
 ric music traditions.\n\nALKEMIE and its sister ensemble FREELANCE NUN col
 laborated to create A FINE COMPANION\, a program of newly-composed setting
 s of troubadour songs and texts\, written in a dream-pop / shoegaze / psyc
 hedelic rock style for an amplified combination of medieval and new instru
 ments. The texts of this project were chosen by Charles Mueller (composer)
  and the ensemble\, with a focus on troubadour lyrics that expand or refut
 e the standard tropes of chivalrous love by choosing poems from a feminine
  perspective\, and by delving into the metaphysical and spiritual subsets 
 of the genre. The unbridled sensuality of the arrangements creates space f
 or a raw experience that inspires a visceral reaction in the listener. Mue
 ller has used pre-existing troubadour music as a melodic and modal prompt 
 on a number of pieces\, with direct quotations organically morphing as if 
 in an inspired game of telephone. With Tracy Cowart (voice\, electric harp
 s\, percussion)\, Jim Hopkins (keyboards)\, Cameron LeCrone (percussion)\,
  Ben Matus (voice\, medieval bagpipes)\, Charles Mueller (composer &amp\; 
 technical director\; electric guitar\, electric bass) Niccolo Seligmann (v
 ielles\, scheitholt\, gittern\, psaltery)\, Elisa Sutherland (voice)\, Sia
 n Ricketts (voice\, recorders\, douçaines)\, and Spiff Wiegand (percussio
 n\, guitar).\n\nSIBYL is a folk duo from New York City formed by Chloe and
  Lily Holgate\, two sisters who draw inspiration from the ancient traditio
 n of the Sibyls—prophetic women of the ancient world who foretold the fu
 ture through poetry and song. Blending their love for storytelling with th
 eir classical foundations\, they refract traditional folk music through a 
 contemporary\, emotive light. Sibyl has performed on chamber music series 
 around the northeast\, at rock music venues around the city and many house
  concerts for small audiences—their favorite venues! Sibyl has been a re
 sident artist at Avaloch Music Institute and in 2022 they were winners of 
 WNYC's Public Song Project.\n\nSMOKE RING is a mixed voice barbershop and 
 contemporary a cappella quartet based in New York\, NY pushing the limits 
 of what’s possible in barbershop with a lot of sass and sparkle. Made up
  of Rebecca Eckes (tenor)\, Stephanie “Tags” Taglianetti (lead)\, Gabr
 iel Spector (bass)\, and Alexander Ronneberg (baritone)\, their humble beg
 innings began behind a curtain in Charlotte\, NC\, where they tucked away 
 for some privacy to ring chords in a crowded room. They made things offici
 al in 2023\, the same year they took first in Voices of Gotham’s Tin Pan
  Alley novice quartet contest. Their rapid ascent continued in 2024\, when
  they became the first-ever mixed voice quartet to win the Mid-Atlantic Di
 strict quartet competition and placed 9th at their debut at the Barbershop
  Harmony Society’s 2024 International quartet contest—making them the 
 highest-ranked mixed voice quartet in the world.\n\nThis concert will be p
 erformed live in NYC on March 6\, 2025 at the Jalopy Theatre in Brooklyn. 
 Doors at 6:30 p.m.\; concert at 7:00 p.m. General admission is $30. For ti
 ckets and more information\, please visit www.alkemie.org/events.
