Per this post and this:

Choral Composer-Conductor Collective.


C 4 of course is a high-powered explosive!   $:)

So maybe we should be thinking along those  lines!  ;)

How about punning it up a bit, adding a bit of Greek Latin at the end to make sound more impressive, and call yourselves:

Condiscordium

And we are avoiding the word "collective" !   "Collective" smacks of...well, you know!  ;)

...the Borg, I know. Good call there.  8)

Why not, in case they'd eventually want to branch out.

Sounds like "The Karl Henning Singers of Boston" ticks both those boxes. :)  (Someone to blame, too, if they turn in a terrible performance.)

Thanks a bunch!  8)

Since the endeavor is modeled on a group in New York, the Naming of the Band has been on hold, as there was the possibility (mild hope) that our name might be much the same, as a sort of "Boston franchise."  That possibility having run its course, three of our organizers decided on Triad:  Boston's Choral Collective.  (I know:  I reported that the thought was expressed, of avoiding the term collective, but I guess it was not a sticking point.)  As explained at last might's rehearsal . . . Why "Triad"?  To underscore the three foci of the group — composing, conducting, singing — and, since we present new music, which is sometimes scary to people, the triad is a musical object with a comforting familiarity to it.

And, for those GMG-ers on Facebook, we are, too.
