Choir Community

At the center of the company is The Fire Ensemble–an intergenerational pop-up choir community that centers BIPOC and queer folx.
As part of a multiyear residency at The Shed, we invite a range of community members to rehearse, workshop, and perform in transformative large-scale music theater works rooted in predominantly Black musical styles including gospel, R&B, and musical theater.

During free, weekly rehearsals, singers from different backgrounds and identities come together to use music and ritual as tools to explore collective liberation, intergenerational healing, radical relationships, and personal emergence. Though the invitation to participate in collective liberation is open to all, The Fire Ensemble is committed to centering BIPOC and queer communities.

Although performances are moments of culmination and expanding the circle of sharing, the emphasis of our projects are on the process, and the space of community that is built through gathering. Additionally, The Fire Ensemble works within cultural institutions to produce a number of workshops and commissioned projects by Troy Anthony. 

Join the Ensemble

Rehearsal is the thing! The Fire Ensemble is for shower singers, professionals, and anyone in between. Our doors are always open to new members. Whether you are interested in coming to a single rehearsal or singing with us for the entire season, we welcome you to join our choir community as we explore the power of our individual voices to make music collectively.

Rehearsals for the 2024 fall session have begun and will be held most Monday evenings from 6 – 8 pm through November at The Shed.
