Inspired by vocal music’s great beauty and power, innovative composer/musician Philip Hamilton brings us Voices, a dynamic, pan-global concert of original a cappella music. Known for his work with jazz and world music artists such as Pat Metheny and Gilberto Gil as well as collaborations with Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Rennie Harris Puremovement and Ronald K. Brown, Hamilton and his “vocal tribe” draw on vocal stylings and influences from around the globe to celebrate the transcendent power of the human voice. Hamilton, whose music has been hailed as “powerful” and “explosive” by the New York Times, is joined by renowned beat-box artist Kenny “The Human Orchestra” Muhammad, a veteran of performances with the New York Symphony Orchestra, Public Enemy, Vernon Reid, and more.
