JazzLab – Clash of choirs / N. Schulze, Shabach, Vokalensemble VERZ

In the organizer's words:

Shabach, the gospel choir (not only) for the shy meets vocal ensemble VERZ.

Singing, breathing, snorting, talking, singing, shouting, coughing, whispering, humming, singing, whistling, breathing, moaning, singing, stomping, clapping, chatting, singing!

All of this can be heard and tried out at the JazzLab on October 17. Two Potsdam choirs that couldn't be more different at first listen will meet. Shabach celebrates contemporary gospel with the eruptive energy of a volcano - in colorful diversity: believers, atheists, amateurs and experienced singers, conducted by Zubin Sethna, a German-Indian Zarathustrian. VERZ, the vocal ensemble of the Rechenzentrum, sounds its way through the history of data processing, from the Renaissance to the present day. Joanna Waluszko, composer and vocal artist, steers this highly specialized a capella ensemble through a kalaidoscope of moods. VERZ explores the limits of the human voice - and how these can be shifted.

The concert will be followed by the first all-vocal open stage in the history of the JazzLab!
