Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!
This programme will focus on a 4-way close harmony, SATB vocal arrangements accompanied by a jazz rhythm section. The repertoire consists of NY Voices’ arrangements, “Avalon” and “Why Don’t You Write Me?”; Gerhard Guter’s, “The Waters of March”; Rosana Eckert’s wordless arrangement of “Sandu”; and Vox Arsana’s, “Zemlja pleše”. Let’s marry vocal jazz!
