Watch: Roomful of Teeth Deliver Public Performance of Partita for 8 Voices

A few weeks ago, New Yorkers were mesmerized by a strange blue light in the sky above Queens; they wondered if it was even an alien invasion. Last week, visitors to Times Square might have had a similar feeling, hearing uncanny voices emanating from the crowd. Roomful of Teeth delivered its first-ever public performance of Partita for 8 Voices—Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize winning work with them—in Times Square, the setting that partly inspired it. Catch a glimpse of the performance below, and see Roomful of Teeth at Big Ears 2019.
