Hammer Museum to Present ‘Star Choir’

By David Salazar

On Jan. 24, 2024, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, California will present “Star Choir.”

The cosmic opera by Malik Gaines and Alexandro Segado explores the fate of a starship crew that seeks refuge on planet 85K: Aurora. During their struggle with the hostile planet, the humans evolve to integrate themselves with a “queerly multi-species organisms that covers the entire world.”

Audiences will see performances by Sarah Beaty, Carmen Edano, Mikaela Elson, Kelci Hahn, Shyheim Selvan Hinnant, Jon Lee Keenan, Ben Lin, and Gregório Taniguch. They are joined by such instrumentalists as  Guillermo E. Brown, Elizabeth Huston, Marlon Martinez, Ethan Philbrick, Malik Taylor, and Lucy Yates.  Marc Lowenstein conducts.

The event is free for all attendees.
