We're exploring in song the many ways change can be good or bad, naughty or nice. When "Everything Must Change" in this "Crazy World", we offer Rodgers & Hart wit, Kurt Weill character, queens and pirates, elves and jingle bells (but not the carol), jazzy possibilities and endings, shifting seasons, soul-searching songs from our own Valentino, wishful thinking and resolve.
Howard Pfeifer is music director with singers Susan Arjmand Evelyn Danner Jeanne Franks Ruth Fuerst Carrie Hedges Claudia Hommel Staci Kelley Jonathan Lewis Sue Susman and Gabriel Valentino.
The concert will be held in the North Recital Hall at the corner of Fullerton and Halsted.
About SongShop:
The award-winning workshop for singers
“A place to find yourself in song a workshop for singers to call home”
SongShop is a place to explore character and truth-telling in song. More than that it has become home to a community of singers who in seeking to connect to their songs and their audience have become connective tissue for each other.
Ours is an ongoing collective process. We use a toolkit of musical and theatrical techniques to enhance each singer’s ability to communicate character emotion and story in song and to make each song their own.
Our work culminates regularly in group and salon concerts. The best way to test and prod the work is to put it in front of a broader audience.
Claudia Hommel leads SongShop sessions at the Community Music Division of DePaul University School of Music in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood in private residences from Hyde Park to Wrigleyville and on tour.
