Members of The New York Choral Society  joined artists Anna Schimkat and Felix Kindermann in “Passage“, a performance and sound installation with melody composed by Natalie Diettrich in the building and courtyard of Deutsches Haus at NYU.

Passage negotiates the cultural and linguistic polyphony of New York and its immigration history. More information about the performance and the artists HERE.
