Led by Dr. Deborah Simpkin King, Ember is the performing core of Schola Cantorum on Hudson (Schola), which is also the parent organization of PROJECT : ENCORE (P:E). Consistent with the substantial P:E commitment to promoting new music, Ember’s repertoire is largely that of active composers. The ensemble selects a theme of social pertinence around which to program all of its concerts throughout a season.  The upcoming season’s theme:
