World Music Institute presents
Voices of Corsica
BARBARA FURTUNA ENSEMBLE
Wednesday, September 29, 2010  8:00 PM

Saint Peter's Church
54th Street and Lexington Avenue
New York

The remarkable male vocal quartet Barbara Furtuna carries
on the centuries-old tradition of polyphonic
singing from Corsica, the mountainous Mediterranean
island off the coast of France. With its exquisite and
haunting a cappella harmonies of spiritual and secular
songs, the group has become a leading exponent of
this music that nearly became extinct until its revival in
the 1970s.  The vocal tradition is now a central part of Corsican
national identity, and is sometimes linked to calls for autonomy
or independence.  Barbara Furtuna was named after an 18th
century Corsican exile song and is comprised of singers
who mastered their vocal art in various Corsican ensembles
before coming together in 2001. The group was one of the
highlights at the recent Fes Festival of World Sacred Music and is
now making its New York debut.

Suggested dontaion $30

PLAYBILL:

Perfect Harmony, the comedy with music about competing high school a cappella
groups, returns Off-Broadway Oct. 8 at 45 Bleecker.

Originally seen at the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival and a
subsequent Off-Broadway run on Theatre Row in 2008, Perfect Harmony arrives
Off-Broadway in its latest incarnation after a run a the Stoneham Theatre in
Massachusetts. Andrew Grosso and The Essentials co-wrote the play, which will
open Oct. 17 and is booking through Dec. 31. Grosso also serves as director.

The cast features Kelly McCreary (Passing Strange), Kate Morgan Chadwick
(Grease), Faryl Amadeus, Dana Acheson (Dying City), Marie-France Arcilla
(Shout!), Clayton Apgar (Next Fall), David Barlow, Jarid Faubel, Kobi Libii and
Robbie Collier Sublett (Gone Missing).

The production has original music and arrangements by Alec Duffy, scenic design
by Nick Francone, costume design by Becky Lasky and lighting design by Brian
Jones.

Perfect Harmony is described as "a comedy about the greatest a cappella group in
high school singing history, seventeen-time national champions, The Acafellas.
It is also about their classmates and female counterpart, perennial runners up,
The Ladies in Red. Perfect Harmony exposes the cut-throat competition of glee
clubs and the even more cut-throat competition of high school. Through song and
story, these students grapple with the weighty issues of truth, love, what
constitutes appropriate choreography for the National Championships, and
ultimately the true nature of harmony."

The Essentials comprise David Barlow, Jeffrey Binder, Autumn Dornfeld, Santino
Fontana, Scott Janes, Vayu O’Donnell, Maria Elena Ramirez, Jeanine Serralles,
Marina Squerciati, Margie Stokley, Noah Weisberg and Blake Whyte.

Michael Musto, Louis S. Salamone and Joshua P. Weiss produce.

PLAYBILL:

After losing its original Off-Broadway home due to a landlord dispute, Perfect
Harmony, the play about a high school a cappella group on the tenuous road to
"Nationals" competition, will make music at the Acorn Theatre beginning Oct. 21.

Following a pre-New York run at the Stoneham Theatre in Massachusetts, Perfect
Harmony began Off-Broadway previews Oct. 8 in anticipation of an Oct. 17 opening
at 45 Bleecker.

On Oct. 13 Perfect Harmony found itself without a home when the landlord
suddenly closed the venue in a dispute with the theatre owner. The play was one
of several which left producers scrambling to find alternate venues. One 45
Bleecker tenant, The Deep Throat Sex Scandal, shuttered due to the lock-out.

Perfect Harmony will now resume previews Oct. 21 and officially open Oct. 27 at
the Acorn Theatre on Theatre Row with its original cast and creative team.
Andrew Grosso and The Essentials co-wrote the play. Grosso also directs

Send Email Send Email
 
In the middle of November, (Monday, November 15, 2010) my colleague and I are putting together an exciting, fresh Broadway-themed talk show series in Manhattan. A portion of the money raised that night will go towards a few notable charities. We are looking for any musicians willing to help out accompanying our performers. Also we are looking for a few more performers to sing,  and be interviewed.

At this time, there is no pay.  

This event will have great press and a few notable Broadway names. The purpose is to bring awareness to the different charitable organizations and to show that theatre is unlike any other experience. 

We are looking especially for piano players (bonus if you have a keyboard), guitar (acoustic and electric) but we also need other musicians on different instruments as well. 

For singers, all different types of genres but especially older classics.

Please contact me for more information. 

Thank you.

Hey Everyone!

As part of the Rockapella management team, I thought I'd pass this info along to
you all. This is going to be a GREAT show. If you've never been to a Rockapella
show, this show will knock you off your butts!

America's Leading A Cappella Group to Perform at New York City's Florence Gould
Hall on January 8, 2011


New York, NY - (December 3, 2010) — Fresh off the heels of their Holiday tour,
Rockapella will kick-off the New Year with a "Bang" in the Big Apple this
January 2011! With the celebration of their long-awaited new studio album
titled "Bang," this awe-inspiring quintet of vocal talent returns to Florence
Gould Hall on Saturday, January 8, 2011. If you've missed their sell-out annual
intimate New York City concert in the past, DON'T MISS IT THIS YEAR! With new
songs and new surprises, this is the show not to miss.

The world's most loved five-man contemporary pop vocal phenomenon known for
their astonishing live performances and their 5-year stint as the house band on
the PBS hit kids game show, "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?", delivers a
breathtaking album that stays true to the group's roots, melding soul, rock,
rhythm and blues together to form their trademark style of contemporary pop
music. "Bang!" It's startling…exhilarating…impossible to ignore. It features 12
all-original tracks (at least one written by each band member), plus a bonus
track cover of Vampire Weekend's "A-Punk."

WHO: Rockapella (www.Rockapella.com)
WHAT: An Intimate Evening With Rockapella

Send Email Send Email
  
MWI is an all-male a cappella group from the Danbury, Connecticut
area. We are looking for a Baritone who has a good voice, but is
willing to stand in front and participate in our humor. Since our
inception in 2003, we have made sure to stand firm with our moniker of
never taking ourselves too seriously. Known for our impeccable
musicality and unique brand of humor, this current group continues to
build on the tradition – a tradition that is characterized by
musicianship, comedic spontaneity and time honored dignity.

If you're interested, please contact me at hatcity99@...

Please put MWI-Auditions in the subject.
