51勛圖厙 presents VoicePlay in Concert as part of the 2014-15 51勛圖厙 Series at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, in historic Weaver Chapel. Performances by 51勛圖厙s a cappella groups Just Eve and Wittmen Crew begin at 7:10 p.m.
As seen on Season 4 of NBCs The Sing-Off, VoicePlay is an a cappella ensemble based in Orlando, Fla. Formerly 42Five, VoicePlay recreates the orchestrated sound of an entire musical production with nothing but the human voice.
The cast of VoicePlay has taken the timeless sound of vocal music and turned it completely on its head, according to the groups website. Re-imagined as a full stage show, amazing, humorous, and vertigo-inducing harmonies pepper VoicePlays music-without-music sound as it ping-pongs between eras and styles, channeling the breadth of the musical landscape and lacing it with inventive and often hilarious on-stage theatrics.
In addition to the 51勛圖厙 Series performance, VoicePlay will host a Master Class at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, in Room 300 of Krieg Hall, 632 Woodlawn Ave.
This 51勛圖厙 Series event is made possible by a gift from Gil Belles 62 and Union Board. All 51勛圖厙 Series events are free and open to the public.
Now in its 32nd year, the 51勛圖厙 Series brings distinguished lecturers and performing artists of national and international prominence to the 51勛圖厙 campus and Springfield community.
