Baritone Brian Mummert sings, conducts, arranges, composes, and curates musical experiences that harness narrative as a mode for deepening mutual understanding. He is the founding artistic director of The New Consort, an American Prize-winning vocal ensemble exploring the roles musical ritual and community play in contemporary lives; and a co-founder of ChamberQUEER, a chamber music collective highlighting the voices of LGBTQ+ composers and performers, and The Red Ribbon Revue, a World AIDS Day concert featuring HIV+ performers celebrating the legacy of artists lost to AIDS. Performances by Brian’s ensembles have been hailed as “a utopian dream… [at] the cutting edge of classical music” (The Nation) and “an extraordinary concert that is nothing like what you might expect, but much like what you’d hope for” (BroadwayWorld).

Gregório Taniguchi, tenor, is a native Angeleno and Brooklyn resident, specializing in music of antiquity and the contemporary as chamber artist and soloist. He brings linguistic gusto and vitality to performances as the Evangelist in Bach’s St. John Passion (“textually keen and emotionally piercing” – San Francisco Classical Voice) and Christmas Oratorio, Zadok in Handel’s Solomon, Miles Zegner in Missy Mazzoli’s Proving Up, and Septimius in Handel’s Theodora, and when originating new roles. He enjoys the alchemy of collaborative ensemble singing, especially with Clarion Vocal Ensemble, TENET, Tesserae, Bach Collegium San Diego, and Washington Bach Consort. Gregório is passionate about artistic community, coaching language, and knitting. Since recording his mother’s favorite fado during lockdown, he’s been learning guitarra portuguesa—and the Renaissance cornetto. He enjoys being an active part of his ecological community, germinating seeds and raising native wildflowers.
