Overview

SoVoSó is a highly imaginative a cappella ensemble that sings a unique, rhythmic mix of jazz, gospel, world, and R&B music, all rendered in their trademark improvisational style. The SoVoSó repertoire consists of original compositions and other songs that present a global perspective, from Afro-Latin idioms to traditional funk and jazz arrangements.

Currently, the vocal band consists of David Worm, Sunshine Becker, Bryan Dyer, and Zoe Ellis, along with other great singers such as Nicolas Bearde, Ashling Cole, and Vernon Bush. As SoVoSó (“from the Soul to the Voice to the Song”), the ensemble pioneers new horizons in contemporary vocal performance, bringing traditional world rhythms into the 21st century. According to the San Jose Mercury News, “The extraordinary richness and brilliance of this virtuoso vocalism lifts you into a special realm.”

This performance of One Planet, One World, One People is a celebration of Black History Month that takes the audience on a musical journey through themes related to the experience of the African American community, honoring and highlighting their contributions to music and culture.

Each one-hour performance includes a 10–15 minute Q&A session from the stage.
