Song Club with Jazimina
Like a book club with songs! Come Zoom with Jazimina MacNeil around a treasure trove of songs written by great artists, from Schubert to Amy Beach to Stevie Wonder. Each class we’ll listen to new songs and explore the poetry, musical techniques, and personal history of these poets and composers who capture our kaleidoscope of human feeling and turn it into sound. Each class includes an optional prompt for creative reflection, inviting your own artistic impulses to flow.
Mezzo-soprano Jazimina MacNeil has spent most of her life reveling in song and loves nothing more than delving into the liminal spaces where poetry, history and music intersect. Called “clearly a singer to watch” by the New York Times, her recent performances include concerts with the Apple Hill string quartet, a Verdi Requiem with the Brattleboro Concert Choir, and the Winners Recital of the Liederkranz Competition at Carnegie Hall. She is endlessly thrilled by the process of discovery, and no matter what kind of day her students are having, she wants them to leave their lesson feeling lighter, more energized, and inspired by their own capabilities.
