The Warren Miller Performing Arts Center of Big Sky will present famed a capella group Take 6 on Saturday, January 5th at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $22–$54 and are available now.
Take 6 is the most awarded a cappella group in history, with ten Grammys, ten Dove Awards (Gospel Music Awards), Best Jazz Vocal Group honors for seven consecutive years in DownBeat’s prestigious Reader’s and Critic’s Poll, a Soul Train Music Award, BRE (Black Radio Exclusive) Vocal Group of the Year, two NAACP Image Award nominations, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and countless other musical and humanitarian citations.
Showing the global appeal of this phenomenal group, they celebrated their 25th Anniversary last year with a World Tour including stronghold favorite markets Asia, South America, eastern and Western Europe and the United States, also opening up new markets with debut tours of Australia and Canada. They receive rave reviews and overwhelming audience reception wherever they go. From New York’s famed Blue Note to the Montreux Jazz Festival, from PBS to ABC-TV specials, they remain the quintessential and pre-eminent a capella group in the world, working harder than ever, and loving every minute of it.
Most recently, Take 6 had the honor of being the first American vocal group to perform in Cuba since diplomatic relations were restored.
Eighth Blackbird perform their vibrant, cutting-edge take on classical music at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $19–$44.
Eighth Blackbird is “one of the smartest, most dynamic contemporary classical ensembles on the planet,” wrote a reviewer for the Chicago Tribune. Launched by six entrepreneurial Oberlin Conservatory undergraduates in 1996, this Chicago-based supergroup is “defined by adventure, vibrancy and quality… known for performing from memory, employing choreography and collaborations with theater artists, lighting designers and even puppetry artists” (Detroit Free Press).
