Win 2 FREE Tickets to the 4th Annual Vital Vox: A Vocal Festival at Roulette on October 29th/30th
I have some great news for one lucky broke-ass and his/her broke-ass friend—you could win a pair of FREE tickets to go see the 4th Annual Vital Vox: A Vocal Festival later this month. But first, here’s some info on what this unique festival is all about.
Vital Vox is an event that focuses solely on the human voice. Whether in a solo setting or as a part of an ensemble, Vital Vox will explore the countless ways in which a voice can be used, and it will be displayed through a multitude of musical genres. Everything from jazz to interactive electro-acoustic music will be showcased during the two-day festivities.
The festival will take place on Monday, October 29th and Tuesday, October 30th at the Roulette. General Admission for tickets will $15 ($10 for Students/Seniors/Members) and can be purchased at Roulette’s website HERE or by calling 917-267-0363.
The following is the program description for the event and the performers:
