Phantom Waves: Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers

A Performance in the Catacombs

Phantom Waves is an innovative music series crafted for the distinctive acoustic spaces of Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel and Catacombs. Headlined by musicians making waves with experimental approaches to voice, instrumentation, and composition, the series offers immersive sonic journeys that blur the line between the living and the spectral. The 2024 series is curated by acclaimed performer Gelsey Bell, recognized by The New York Times as “one of New York’s most adventurous musicians.”

Vocalist Gelsey Bell and saxophonist Erin Rogers come together to celebrate the release of their new album, Skylighght, which features tracks recorded in Green-Wood's Catacombs. Using the historic structure as a third collaborator, their performance will feature a site-specific sonic interaction, artfully integrating the unique architectural shape and resonant acoustics of the space. Together, Bells and Rogers explore an intimate and vulnerable practice that brings together the voice and the saxophone, ultimately leading to a harmonic blend of multiphonics.
