Program by Matt Greenberg and Deke Sharon / Music Direction by Paul Langford
A new concert co-created and narrated by Deke Sharon, the heralded “Father of Contemporary A Cappella” and music director of “Pitch Perfect,” History of Harmony tells the story of pop vocal harmony from the early 20th century to today.
