Line Upon Line: Faulk, Teodori, Bedell
|
A collaboration with the innovative local percussion ensemble,
Line Upon Line (members Adam Bedell, Cullen Faulk and Matthew Teodori),
and with Austin Haller on piano
Craig Hella Johnson leads each Big Sing gathering in vocal warm-ups and short, melodic songs that can be easily learned. As musical hosts, Conspirare Symphonic Choir members are among the audience to sing along and provide musical support and encouragement. Song sheets are provided.
Musical selections at Big Sings range from familiar rounds, spirituals, and Beatles songs to popular 20th century standards from the Great American Songbook. Johnson hand picks music for each Big Sing to delight, thrill, and sometimes challenge the singing audience, always with remarkably beautiful and inspirational results.

The Big Sing is open to everyone, regardless of musical training and experience. Through a fun, no-pressure group singing experience, audience members learn basic vocal technique and sing as one with hundreds of others.

Help us move this recording up the charts and spread the music
by buying from the source! Craig Hella Johnson has graciously offered to sign the next 100 Considering Matthew Shepard CDs that leave our store.
"'Considering Matthew Shepard'" demonstrates music's capacity to encompass, transform and transcend tragedy. Powerfully cathartic, it leads us from horror and grief to a higher understanding of the human condition, enabling us to endure."
