Upcoming Cottage Grove Wellness 50+ events
Scat Cats with Vicky Mountain
Monday, Oct. 16, from 6-7 p.m.
Park Grove Library (7900 Hemingway Ave. S., Cottage Grove)
From Baroque music ornamentation to African field songs’ call and response to Louis Armstrong forgetting the words to the virtuosic melodies of Ella Fitzgerald – scat singing is part of the uniquely American style that is jazz.
“Scat” singing is vocal improvisation without words that presents the voice as an instrument. Join Vicky Mountain from the MacPhail Center for Music as she takes you through the history of scat singing and then awakens the creative spark in all with participation in exercises and songs in this free concert for all ages at Park Grove Library. No RSVP required.
This program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
