The GRAMMY Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus, led by Dianne Berkun Menaker, announces the premiere of 'Port(al),' a choral theater production that explores the history and significance of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This performance takes place in the Agger Fish building, featuring collaborations with notable composers and artists. The production aims to engage young singers creatively, weaving together oral histories of influential figures associated with the Navy Yard. 'Port(al)' will occur on May 1, 2, and 3, 2025, with limited ticket availability, and audience members will experience the performance in an immersive setting.
"Engaging young singers in world-class art-making and bringing their anxieties and hopes for the future to the center of the creative process, 'Port(al)' is a choral theater work that reawakens history in the goliath raw space of the Navy Yard's Agger Fish building."
"'Port(al)' spins oral histories from recently passed figures like historian Howard Zinn and activist Clarence L. Irving, Sr. into stunning compositions, creating a rich narrative tapestry."
