Description
The Neo-Soul Ensemble will meet virtually (possibly in person if everyone is comfortable) twice per week for four weeks in June 2021 preparing remote recordings of songs emblematic of the neo-soul style. Participants will learn and study the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic functions of their respective instrument and the stylings appropriate to the genre. Participants must have some experience reading sheet music/chord charts and/or demonstrate an intermediate-level facility of their instrument. Participants of all ages are welcome.
Neo-soul is a genre of Black American Music that artists such as Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill, and Maxwell shaped in the 1980s and 90s. Referring to a revival of the soul and R&B music tradition that came before it, neo-soul feeds the soul with its pocket grooves, thick harmonic textures, and poetry.
$200 admission, payable upon acceptance after an audition.
