This week, The UNC Greensboro Concert and Lecture Series presents Roomful of Teeth, a Grammy-winning vocal band dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice. By engaging collaboratively with artists, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world, the group seeks to uplift and amplify voices old and new while creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music.
Roomful of Teeth will perform in Tew Recital Hall in the Music Building on Friday, January 31st at 8:00 pm. An open rehearsal and Q&A will be held that afternoon, and all UNCG students are invited to attend.
Professor of Choral Music, Conducting Carole Ott will moderate the Q&A, which she says, along withthe open rehearsal will will offer students an invaluable experience:
“Roomful of Teeth is a cutting-edge ensemble which is doing incredible work exploring what is possible with the human voice. It will be so exciting to have them on campus and for our students to hear them rehearse and perform. I hope students will come away with a deeper understanding of what singing can be and what performing can be. I hope that they (and we all) come away from the experience changed and expanded.”
Roomful of Teeth has been praised for their innovative and daring sound which is revolutionizing choral music. They are coming to UNCG from shows at New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Paris Philharmonie, as well as venues in Brussels, Antwerp, and Prague.
Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, the band was incubated at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) in North Adams, Massachusetts.
“As the world rapidly changes, Roomful of Teeth is cultivating deeper relationships with technology, continuing to explore and expand the artistic reach of the human voice,” says Wells. We are excited about new collaborative projects focused on stories of place, home, and community in diverse environments around the world. They explore, learn, and collaborate with passionate curiosity, contagious enthusiasm, and deep gratitude.”
Through their unique collaborative process with a wide range of artists and ensembles, Roomful of Teeth has worked with many of today’s most compelling musical creators to build a significant and continuously growing repertoire spanning genres and art forms.
