ensembleNEWSRQ (enSRQ), Sarasota’s forward-looking contemporary chamber ensemble, opens its 11th season with the Sarasota debut of two-time Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. The collaboration brings together eight singers and five instrumentalists for a boundary-pushing program exploring the expressive possibilities of the human voice. The concert is Monday, October 5, 7:30 p.m., at First Congregational Church, 1031 S. Euclid Ave., Sarasota. The program features two works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, along with works by Leilehua Lanzilotti, Peter Shin and Wally Gunn, moving from murmurs, breath and spoken language to intricate vocal rhythms and richly layered instrumental textures. Together, the works explore language, anxiety, identity, connection and the shifting territory between certainty and possibility.
