Event Detail

"The voice has the power to communicate through words, and yet also the ability to create a multitude of percussive sounds. Together with percussion, they act as a conduit for a musician's virtuosity and emotions, whether or not the language of the voice is understandable, or the rhythm of the percussion instruments is comprehensible." - Garrett Mendelow

This recital features works on Garrett's upcoming album "singing to his craft...," which is a collection of pieces for a solo vocalizing percussionist. The album not only explores the ability of the voice to interact with various percussion instruments. But the multi-lingual component also renders a wide array of articulations and sounds from the voice, while at the same time communicating the spoken text.
