Mixed Vocal Jazz Ensemble. Twelve uniquely gifted singers with broad stylistic experience ranging from jazz to R&B to Indian classical opera, Voicestra offers a rich compositional vehicle for Bobby McFerrin's exploration of the musical universe. Bobby founded Voicestra in 1986, and it has since evolved into a medium for deeply spiritual and powerful improvisations. Voicestra is not just a choir, but a flexible and richly textured instrument through which Bobby can experiment with and express his unique vocal style and musical stream of consciousness. The music is entirely improvised. Melodies, rhythms and textures travel from singer to singer, perpetually morphing. Directed by Bobby McFerrin.
