At not even a year old, New York City vocal group Fourth Wall Ensemble is making a big noise. That was literally so this past weekend, as eight a cappella singers conducted by Christopher Allen illustrated the group’s mission of “bringing new works to life while simultaneously exploring the earliest roots of vocal music.” The location: the cavelike Catacombs of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
