A Cappella Innovations 2007 is a festival hosted and created by the A cappella group "Simply Human" to promote innovation, evolution, and unity in the A Cappella community. This festival will promote learning and crucial networking that is needed to help the a cappella community grow stronger as a whole. It will also foster an appreciation in the general public of what can be done with the human instrument.
This wonderful festival will be held on Dec. 1st and 2nd with an optional meet and greet on Fri. night with the celebrity judges and other participants. This event in is Albany, NY at the famous historic "Egg". With the hard work of Simply Human and their friends by donations and organizational support this festival is being held at no charge to the participating groups during the festival, while there will be ticketed public events on both Saturday and Sunday. The profits of this festival will donated to the participating groups. Additionally, A Cappella Innovations 2007 will have a series of events for the groups including workshops, constructive evaluations, performances by professionals and other social, community building opportunities.
There are a number of prestigious judges and participants, amongst them: Chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group, Edgar Bronfman Jr., actresses Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack from Smallville, Nicki Clyne from Battlestar Galactica and the director and producer of the movie, What the bleep do we know, Mark Vicente. We also have participating Deke Sharon, Maxine Sharavsky, Valerie Kolko and Ben
Stevens, all esteemed members of the cappella community; also attending will be the electronic artist BT, music producer Linda Goldstein, and professional vocal performers The House Jacks, Lipbone Redding, and Denise Reis.
The workshops provided for all of the groups cover a broad range of traditional and non-traditional subjects - everything from: sound making, to arrangements, to vocal techniques, to performance, to percussion - some of the people running the workshops include: the House Jacks with renowned vocal percussionist Wes Carroll, a fantastic Brazilian woman named Denise Reis and other notables. Depending on interest, various informal activities will be available to foster networking and constructive co-support amongst groups; at the same time, the participating groups will also get the opportunity to perform for our professional judging panel to get some good, rich feedback on everything from precision to expression to blending.
Saturday night's performance will be open to the public and feature the House Jacks and our other professional groups. Sunday's event, while also open to the public, will be the showcase and culmination of the weekend's workshops and will feature the best of all of the participating groups.
We look forward to people coming out whether it is groups participating or people coming out to see all the work that has been done over the weekend at the final show on Sunday night. If you would
