This series of hour-long workshops covers musical and business topics, from arranging, to copyright, to managing. A detailed schedule of the workshops is posted below. A cappella groups and individual vocal performers are welcome. (For groups looking for professional and peer feedback, there will be a masterclass in the afternoon; contact Joe Antonioli at jantonio@middlebury.edu to sign up.)

In the evening, New York City-based a cappella powerhouse Blue Jupiter takes the stage! Blue Jupiter has recently won the “Oreo and Milk Jingle Contest” hosted by American Idol Judge Randy Jackson, and have won “Audience Favorite” and “Best Arrangement” at the Harmony Sweepstakes two years in a row. The group continues to redefine popular music, combining their a cappella influences of beatbox and harmony with edgy pop arrangements and high energy performances. Hosted by Middlebury College’s very own ButchDivas, a quartet singing spirituals, gospel, folk, jazz, barbershop and original compositions, led by Francois Clemmons, Grammy award winning actor seen in "Porgy & Bess," "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," and founder & maestro of the Harlem Spiritual Ensemble. UPDATE: Philip Hamilton will be making a guest appearance at the Evening Gala!]]> http://www.vermontvocals.org/vacs2007/2007/02/the_vermont_a_cappella_summit.html http://www.vermontvocals.org/vacs2007/2007/02/the_vermont_a_cappella_summit.html Home Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:53:02 +0000 Daytime Event Schedule Daytime Events 10:00 A.M.-6:00 P.M.*, Center for the Arts
