Each year, an audition committee of professional musicians and faculty selects a few exceptional student ensembles to represent the NEC Honors Ensemble Program. The ensembles work with a faculty coach and are given an opportunity to perform a spring recital in NEC's Jordan Hall.
The members of tonight's Honors Ensemble are Karl Henry '24 MM, Yifei Marina Zhou '24 MM, Adrian Chabla '24, Jacqui Armbruster '24 MM, and Evan Haskin '25. Their coaches are Lautaro Mantilla and Ted Reichman.
This is an in-person event with a public live stream: https://necmusic.edu/live

This song is off of Esperanza Spaulding's album Songwriter's Apothecary Lab. We rearranged it for our group and focused on certain parts of her composition to build upon.

This song is found on Puma Blue's record In Praise of Shadows. Taking inspiration from his live drumming, we have built this version around our rhythm section.
