The fourth performance in the 2005-2006 Berklee concert series line up, which includes Meshell Ndegeocello, Patty Larkin, and The Yellowjackets, continues a 22 year tradition of bringing Berklee's finest emerging vocalists to the performance center stage. Over 100 student singers auditioned for the chance to perform as part of this hugely popular concert. From that rich pool of talent, eight lead vocalists were selected: Nadine Ford, Georgel Arevalo, Major "Choirboy" Johnson, Dawn Royston, Ryan Christopher Pinkston, Jennifer Hirsch, Rebecca Muir, and Tiwa Savage. Those chosen will bring to life the music of legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, Celia Cruz, Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin, and more, backed by the college's best instrumentalists and background vocalists and more.
This is the evening to see Berklee's up-and-coming vocalists and instrumentalists at the college proven to be the training ground for renowned artists, such as Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks), Rachelle Ferrell, Melissa Etheridge, and Juan Luis Guerra. The concert will be rounded out with dancers, lights, and three-camera video with rear projection, making it a true showcase of contemporary craftsmanship and entertainment.
