<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Florissant Fine Arts Council\u00a0 welcomes Kansas City\u2019s hottest new a cappella<\/em> octet, Octarium, with \u201cShould Have Been Choral,\u201d the group\u2019s concert collection of orchestral pieces, symphonies, Broadway tunes, and pop hits that have been retooled for choral voicing.<\/p>\n

Nationally recognized for both their recordings and live performances, Octarium has been awing audiences with their distinct style and stunning vocal abilities.\u00a0 Octarium, which is Latin for \u201ceight as one,\u201d is renowned for their perfectly blended voices.\u00a0 The Riverfront Times raves, \u201c\u2026their voices warp and weave, coalescing as a single instrument of tremendous power and depth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Octarium was founded in 2003 by Krista Lang Blackwood, the current artistic director. As the director of choirs at a large Kansas City church, Blackwood hired eight section leaders to support her choral program in 2001. As the program developed, the section leaders formed an octet to provide music at special liturgies. As the octet rehearsed and performed together, a remarkable thing began to happen: musical synergy. The singers began to read each other\u2019s minds; taking unplanned breaths together, phrasing identically and beautifully without discussing it first and creating impromptu choral dynamics in rehearsal and performance. This kind of artistry inspired Blackwood to expand beyond the walls of the church. For more information visit www.octarium.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
