Bobby McFerrin at the Chan Centre: Win Tickets to This Sold Out Show

Comments 47 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia presents the inimitable, genre-defiant music of Bobby McFerrin on February 17th in the Chan Shun Concert Hall.

Bobby McFerrin at the Chan Centre

  • When: Sunday, February 17, 2019 at 7:00pm
  • Where: Chan Centre for the Performing Arts (UBC, 6265 Crescent Rd)
  • Tickets: SOLD OUT!

The concert will feature Gimme5 — McFerrin’s newest band comprised of veterans from his a cappella Voicestra group Joey Blake, Dave Worm, Rhiannon, and Judi Vinar — and local choral ensemble musica intima. The program will be based on Circlesinging, a musical practice and philosophy that McFerrin has been honing since he began as a solo a cappella performer, assigning vocal parts to his onstage collaborators and audience members — transforming sold-out houses into glorious impromptu choirs.

Bobby McFerrin’s latest Circlesongs tour with the vocalists of Gimme5 has centred on an improvised concert format based on McFerrin’s sweeping, soulful vocal language — a wide-open space that welcomes elements from all genres including jazz, pop, R&B, classical, and world music. The style requires an innate sensitivity to surrounding participants and results in a unique and spontaneous sound that is created in the moment. Joined by the Vancouver-based eight-member choral group musica intima, McFerrin and Gimme5 will present an evening of sound that draws in the audience as co-performers.

    How exciting. I saw McFerrin demonstrate the universality of certain kinds of sounds with an audience in New York. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve seen the video but it still stands out.
