WORKSHOP DETAILS: (2 hrs): The ladies of VOCO (Moira Smiley & the wonderful Abigail Nessen-Bengson) start by giving you a toolkit of vocal warmups & performance techniques to expand your singing voice and performance abilities. We'll learn amazing folk-songs from folk-harmony traditions: Appalachian, East European and NEW originals + crackin' SUPER-accessible percussive movement.
Here's a sample video of our workshop! http://www.moirasmiley.com/video/MoiraWorkshop.html
moira smiley & VOCO is a visionary blend of voices - redefining harmony singing with the power & physicality of folksong, the avant-garde fearlessness of Béla Bartók and delicious, vaudevillian accompaniment of cello, banjo, ukelele, accordion and body percussion. Moira Smiley's award-winning original music and spell-binding American and East European folksong light up the stage with rompin' stompin' body percussion and warm wit. Named #1 a cappella group in the U.S. in 2007, moira smiley & VOCO is the energy of street singing and the elegance of a string quartet. Expect magnificent, hair-raising performances music that mourns and dances at the same time. Called "fascinating and multi-lingual" by the LA Times, "Persuasive, near perfect musicians" by the Herald Times, "gritty and ethereal, banjo to Bartók" by the Village Voice.
