On June 30, Merrill Garbus (also known for her work as tUnE-yArDs) will team up once again with the intrepid vocal group Roomful of Teeth and composer William Brittelle for the first time since the 2011 Ecstatic Music Festival. This time, joining the fold will be Judd Greenstein's ensemble The Yehudim, who will perform from Greenstein's work Sh'lomo, in addition to performing collaboratively with Garbus, Brittelle, and Roomful of Teeth. The set will include new work by Garbus and Brittelle, along with a performance by Garbus of selections from the tUnE-yArDs catalog with Roomful as backing group.

Argue will write a new work for the combined ensembles. The concert, free and open to the public, will take place outdoors at the World Financial Center Plaza at 7pm.
