On Sunday, March 20, 2011 at 2:00 PM The Bloomfield Public Library will present a concert featuring Ben Silver singing folk, jazz and some classic favorites.
In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Ben Silver teaches Vocal Improv and Group Singing. In 2005, he took a five-day master class in Circlesinging with Bobby McFerrin. Ben has been a member of the Vocal Improv performance groups "Vox Pop" and "The Tritones". Whether he's in singer/songwriter mode or doing McFerrinesque vocal improvisations, Ben Silver's music slides through folk, R&B, funk, jazz and back again. Ben sings passionately about peace, freedom, parenting, our environment, LGBT issues and even an occasional romantic love song. His songs have been published in Carry It On, Sing Out Magazine, The Washington Post, and the book "Hearing Everyone's Voice".
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
