People have been harmonizing for thousands of years but group singing soared in popularity during the 20th century with groups from the Boswell Sisters to The Beach Boys and beyond blending their voices in every conceivable style. Lyrics & Lyricists™ celebrates the beauty of the human voice with its upcoming show In Perfect Harmony: Celebrating the Vocal Group. Guest artistic director Rob Fisher, with vocal groups New York Voices and the DiGiallanardo Sisters, harmonize to a wide variety of jazz, rock, American Songbook standards, folk and doo-wop from such iconic songwriters as Johnny Mercer, Jon Hendricks, John Phillips, Laura Nyro and BrIan Wilson. Songs confirmed in the program include "Bei mir bist du shön," "Birdland," "Be My Baby," "Day Tripper," and "Bohemian Rhapsody."

For Fisher, the show will explore the rich harmonic texture of many of the different twentieth-century eras – "jazz harmonies of the 1930s, big band vocals in the 1940s, doo-wop in the 1950s, the sweet group harmonies of the 1960s and the rich textures of the pop rock savants of the 1970s."

L&L shows are Saturday at 8 pm, Sunday at 2 and 7 pm, and Monday at 2 and 8 pm. Individual tickets begin at $52. There is also a special under-35 ticket price of $25 for the Saturday and Sunday evening shows.
