World Renowned VOCAL JAZZ ENSEMBLE "M-PACT"
Performs November 4
at Cuesta College VOCAL JAZZ WORKSHOP
Hailed as “one of the best
pop-jazz vocal ensembles in the world” (The San Francisco Chronicle) and
“among the best a cappella groups in the country” (NBC’s Today Show),
the pop-jazz tour-de-force, m-pact (lower case intentional), will
be the headliners at this year’s Cuesta Vocal Jazz Workshop. The public
is invited to the evening concert scheduled at 8 p.m., Friday, November
4 at the Blakeslee Auditorium behind the Cuesta College San Luis Obispo
Campus.
The group m-pact has
appeared on four continents - Europe, South East Asia, North Africa, and
across the U.S. and Canada, opening and/or sharing the stage with pop
superstars such as Sheryl Crow, Kenny Loggins, Lou Rawls, Isaac Hayes,
Kenny G, Liza Minnelli, and Heart along with jazz legends that include
Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Bobby McFerrin, Take 6, The Maynard Ferguson
Big Band and The Woody Herman Orchestra. Mesmerized audiences from
around the world have enjoyed the thrill of m-pact's unbelievable vocal
acrobatics and delightful orchestrations, from their polished, yet
authentic stage presence, to the true, artistic experience m-pact
creates by the human voice alone.
Vocé, Cuesta College’s premier
vocal group, specializes in vocal jazz. Vocé has won many awards and has
been honored internationally. The ensemble has performed nine times at
the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, including this past July. The
group also has performed at the International Association for Jazz
Educators annual conference in Anaheim and Toronto.
General admission is $18 for
adults and tickets are available at the door. Admission is $12 for
students. For more information, contact Cuesta College Performing Arts
