On Wednesday, Feb. 27, the School of Music Convocation will explore the theme "New Ways of Looking at Music," with guest artists WeBe3 leading the discussion.
Beginning at 10 a.m. in Ford Hall, the vocalists of WeBe3-- widely known as Bobby McFerrin's "voicestra"-- will lead an interactive session utilizing vocal and rhythmic improvisation to explore how music impacts the mind and body.
As part of Ithaca College Concerts, WeBe3 will be giving a vocal improvisational performance in front of a ticketed audience this same evening at 8:15 p.m., also in Ford Hall. More at ithaca.edu/webe3 | Tickets available at ithacaevents.com
A full schedule of Wednesday's public and student workshops is available here.
About Convocation:
School of Music Convocations are designed to bring together all music majors at Ithaca College. Attendance is required of all Music majors. Students must pick up their recital attendance cards in the music office before the convocation, as the card will require one punch for these events. If students have a course scheduled outside of the School of Music at this time, they should turn in a copy of their schedules with their recital cards to be excused from these events.
