Bobby McFerrin & Gimme5: Circlesongs

Barbican Centre, Silk Street, London, EC2Y 8DS

Bobby McFerrin performs his spontaneously composed Circlesongs with members of his group Voicestra, augmented by a 12-piece a cappella choir – and sometimes by the whole audience.

‘I want to bring audiences into the incredible feeling of freedom that I get when I sing,’ says Bobby, ‘I want everyone to leave the theatre and sing in their own kitchens the next morning.’ Through exhilarating vocal vocabulary – call and response, global rhythms, soaring melodies, lush harmonies, funny noises, invented language, silence, prayers, and laughter – Bobby reminds us all of just how much fun it is to be alive.
