The Summit: The Manhattan Transfer Meets Take 6 at Van Wezel

With twenty Grammy Awards between them The Manhattan Transfer & Take 6 join forces and perform together on their tour, The Summit, stopping at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Sunday, February 19 at 7PM.

Celebrating their 45th anniversary later this year, The Manhattan Transfer continues to set the standard as one of the world's greatest and most innovative vocal groups. Winners of ten Grammy Awards, with millions of records sold worldwide, this amazing quartet is building upon the extraordinary legacy created by founder Tim Hauser, who organized the four-part harmony group in 1972. As the group looks to record their 30th album in 2017, the first new CD in eight years, the members are extremely enthusiastic about the future.

Take 6, heralded by Quincy Jones as the "baddest vocal cats on the planet," is the quintessential a cappela group and model for vocal genius. Six virtuosic voices unite 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 The Manhattan Transfer and Take 6 combined the audience will experience the creativity, excitement, and renowned performances that only two phenomenal groups can bring to one stage.

Tickets are $36-$86 available for purchase at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368.
