This is a guest post from the Secrest Artists Series:

The Secrest Artists Series opens the 2019-2020 season with a Sept. 19 concert by Take 6.  The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Brendle Recital Hall.

Heralded by Quincy Jones as the “baddest vocal cats on the planet,” Take 6 is the quintessential a cappella group and model for vocal genius. Six virtuosic voices united in crystal-clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements, and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating brew of gospel, jazz, R&B, and pop. With praise from such luminaries as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Whitney Houston, the multi-platinum selling sextet has toured across the globe, collaborated across genres, and is recognized as the preeminent a cappella group in the world.

Join the pre-concert talk at 6:40 p.m. led by Ann Phelps, director of programming for leadership and character at Wake Forest.

We expect this concert to be very popular. Reserved seating is now being offered. To ensure admittance, make reservations at secrest.wfu.edu or by calling 336.758.5757. Walk-up seating is still offered, but not guaranteed.
