On November 30, students came together for Berklee’s premier vocal event, the 34th annual Singers Showcase. More than 100 vocalists audition each year for the chance to earn a spot on the stage, and the top eight singers perform. Curated by the Yo Team, the showcase offers a variety of styles and musical settings for some of the college’s exceptional singers. While the inaugural showcase honored Quincy Jones ’51 ‘83H, this year’s concert paid homage to the Beatles for the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

The vocal cords of several Berklee students shined on classic songs such as “She’s Leaving Home” (performed by student vocalist Da’Dreion Murrell) and “A Day in the Life” (performed by student vocalists Arantza Vazquez and Anna Christensen), among others. The show concluded with roaring applause and a standing ovation. It was also a bittersweet moment in that the founders of the Singers Showcase, Rob Rose and Ken Zambello, celebrated their final collaboration on the show after 34 years of hard work that has delighted audiences in the Berklee Performance Center.
