Paco Ojeda Presents ‘Great Jazz Vocalists Of The 20th Century’

Captivating storyteller, professional musician and journalist, Paco Ojeda is back! The new series, titled ‘Paco Ojeda on Music’ begins with several all-new educating music appreciation lectures starting with ‘Great Jazz Vocalists Of The 20th Century’. This entertaining lecture will feature audio and video snippets of some of the best jazz voices in music. The audience will also discover the particular skills jazz singers must develop to stand out among their peers, and the subtle, yet important difference between a singer and a vocalist. “I love getting people excited about new music trends, or helping them discover new insight on material they already know,” commented the musicologist, whose lectures are always complemented with audio and video examples, along with the occasional participation of special musician guests including Kim Kuzma, Alain Perreault, Piel Canela, Bohemia Viva and Renee Armand. Ojeda graduated from Berklee College of Music and pursued choral conducting studies at New England Conservatory of Music. For the past five years, he has presented over fifty lectures on diverse music-related topics. “Having collaborated with Paco before, we are thrilled to have him here at Incanto,” said Incanto’s owner Tracy Parks. This one-time event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 12 at 4pm.
