will join the New York Philharmonic for a two week

takeover, performing two world premieres

and taking over both of the Philharmonic's new music

series.

Roomful of Teeth has emerged as one

of the most versatile and adventurous vocal organizations

not just in the United States, but in the world.

They'll explore the boundaries of how

does a very tight choral ensemble

work with the full orchestra.

And it's about thinking of all the different corners

we can bend the New York Philharmonic to fit.

The takeover will culminate in the world premiere

by founding member and Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline

Shaw, commissioned by the Philharmonic

and conducted by Jaap van Zweden.

They will also perform in the Kravis Nightcap

Concert, curated by Caroline Shaw

and curate a nightcap of their own.

CAROLINE SHAW: I've been singing in Roomful of Teeth

since the very beginning, in 2009.

And since the beginning, I began writing music

from within the group.

And all the music that we sing, or most of it

has been written specifically for these eight singers.

So I'm really excited to now make

a piece for a Roomful of Teeth and this beautiful body

of musicians that is the New York Phil.

DEBORAH BORDA: The adventurous vocal ensemble

will also premiere a new work by Angelica Negron, on a Grow

It Annenberg Sound On Concert on the theme of music

with nonsense lyrics, hosted and curated by Kravis Creative

Partner Nadia Sirota.

NADIA SIROTA: They are performing a work

by Ligeti, which is all about sort of communicative nonsense.

It's all sort of surrounding this idea of phonemes

and sounds that feel like they're telling you things,

feel like a specific language, and yet it's not.

It's just kind of beyond our grasp of understanding.

DEBORAH BORDA: Stay tuned for more surprises

when Roomful of Teeth takes over the New York Philharmonic.

NADIA SIROTA: I think it's going to be wild.
