With support from the California Arts Council, International Orange Chorale of San Francisco will create a Choral Crossover Collaboration of newly composed electronic choral music with Oakland DJ Lady Ryan & LGBT composer Nathan Hall to reach a new generation of “choir-curious” audience members to redefine 21st century choral music.
