Rosana and Gary Eckert will perform with Bobby McFerrin

UNT Alumni Rosana and Gary Eckert will join 10-time Grammy Award-winner and vocal innovator Bobby McFerrin for two shows in New York City to promote VOCAbuLarieS, Bobby’s latest project. VOCAbuLarieS, a collaboration with composer/arranger/producer Roger Treece, is a choral adventure based on Bobby's experiments with multi-track recording and his ceaseless exploration of the potential of the human voice.

It celebrates Bobby’s love of all musical genres, from classical to world music, R&B to gospel and beyond, building upon his past explorations and journeying into bold new territory. Rosana and Gary were two of over 50 singers recorded for the album, and they will be part of a group of singers on November 12th and 13th who will perform pieces from the CD at the Rose Theater in Lincoln Center.
