Uncork the champagne: it’s time to celebrate! This year marks Tricycle’s quarter-century milestone. “What began in 1991 as a modest effort around founding editor Helen Tworkov’s kitchen table,” writes editor and publisher James Shaheen in our 25th anniversary issue, “is now an internationally distributed publication with an online presence reaching hundreds of thousands of practitioners.”
In honor of this special occasion, we invite you to join us on December 1 in Brooklyn, New York for a gala celebration. We hope to see you at what will certainly be a memorable evening.

C4 Ensemble
A unique, award-winning choral group, C4 is directed and operated collectively by its singing members. It is the first organization of its kind and one of few ensembles in the U.S. to focus exclusively on the music of our time, performing pieces written in the last 25 years. Now running in its 11th year, C4 continues to premiere and commission new choral works and mentor emerging singers, conductors, and composers.
