BOWLING GREEN, OH —Bowling Green State University’s (BGSU) Vocal Jazz Camp, which features instruction from members of New York Voices, a Grammy-award-winning vocal jazz quartet, is getting support from Sennheiser and Neumann in the form of a scholarship and live microphones, both for use during the camp and as a prize.
Sennheiser has provided 16 e 935 live vocal microphones for use by participants at the camp, set for Aug. 4-9, and a Neumann KMS 104/105 live vocal mic will be given to one lucky camp participant for keeps.
“We are grateful to have professional-grade Sennheiser vocal mics for the camp,” said camp manager Theo Stiegler. “You really want the mic to be an extension of the voice, a natural catalyst. With inexpensive mics, you sometimes create a hindrance. In a challenging environment, the performer is then thinking about the mic, and that steals his or her attention from the music itself. So I am thankful the campers will be singing through professional-grade microphones at all times.”
The Sennheiser/Neumann scholarship will pay the tuition for one camp participant. Winning ensembles can either let one of their participants attend for free or split the deduction of one tuition among their members. Ensembles are also eligible for the camp’s ensemble discount, and camp participants who are already registered may also apply.
Applications for the scholarship can be found at www.BGSUjazz.com and awards will be determined based on need and talent. The deadline is June 15th.
