Led by Dr. Deborah Simpkin King, Ember singers share a spiritual curiosity about the deeper meaning of existence, and explore that curiosity as an ensemble through singing music by living composers, programmed around socially pertinent topics. Ember is the performing element of the non-profit choral, advocacy and education organization founded in 1995 as Schola Cantorum on Hudson, sponsor of the renowned PROJECT : ENCORE™.
