[Choir] FREE TIX: Voices of Gotham Lock and Ring / Sirens of Gotham

[Bethany Reeves]

Dear Stevens Choir!


Please see below for an offer from a recent Stevens alum, Dylan Lupo, for free tickets to a Voices of Gotham/Sirens of Gotham event this weekend.


Contact him directly to secure tickets:

Do NOT write back to me. Thanks.


Voices of Gotham is a large barbershop choir, and if you didn't know - barbershop (close harmony, a cappella) is a THING these days. Sirens is the women's group.


Here's a clip of Voices doing some more traditional repertoire -

And here's a particularly lovely arrangement of "How Could I Ever Know" -

These guys are world class. If what they're doing sparks interest, GO!


Sirens is a newer group, and has advanced every time I hear them. Stevens alums have been members of both groups.


Cheers,

BR

There is an exciting opportunity coming up this weekend for singers in and around New York City!


On March 19th and 20th we are presenting a symposium called Lock and Ring, which begins with a workshop on arranging on Saturday and culminates in a concert-talk at Symphony Space the next day. The Sunday TED Talk-like event will feature performances from Voices of Gotham<http://www.voicesofgotham.org/>, Sirens of Gotham<http://www.sirensofgotham.org/>, and a national champion quartet, Da Capo<http://www.dcsingers.com/>, all woven into a lecture by Dr. David Wright<http://www.harmonize.ws/DavidWright/index.html>, a barbershop historian, eminent arranger, and professor at Wash U in St. Louis. He'll be talking about the evolution of barbershop a Cappella music as a uniquely American art form and hobby.


If you are interested or know anyone who would be interested in this event please let me know and I can get you further information. Tickets are only $10 / $20 for advance sales, $15 / $25 on the day of the show. This would be a great primer for work on a final project in most music, music history, or american history courses. Please invite anyone who know who may be interested in these events - singers, arrangers, music educators, and music aficionados.
