Led by Dr. Deborah Simpkin King, Ember singers share a spiritual curiosity about the deeper meaning of existence, and explore that curiosity 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, which is also the sponsor of the renowned PROJECT : ENCORE™ (http://projectencore.org).

Ember’s full season is produced in both NYC and NJ.

Singer backgrounds range from that of professional opera singer to cabaret performers to highly experienced amateurs. Solo technique is supported in the approach to ensemble tone, and soloists are selected exclusively from within the ensemble. Voices of all sizes are welcome to audition. Prospective members should possess strong reading and ensemble skills, be comfortable with flexible/interactive performance styles, and have excellent intonation.
