The Show: A Celebration of 75 Years Thursday, December 3, 7:30 p.m.
After the success of The Show, held earlier this year, Rob Lewis '94 and Ash Rodriguez B.M. '10 are back with a new installment of the pop music spectacle. Featuring the inspired works of some of the most diverse and multifaceted student creators in the world, this virtual experience will represent the range of creativity at Berklee, from instrumentalists, arrangers, composers, singers, and rappers to DJs, songwriters, visual designers, dancers, and more. Lewis and Rodriguez will unveil these works live across Berklees social media platforms. In recent years, Lewis (Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton, Nickelodeon, MTV/VH1) and Rodriguez (Lana Del Rey, John Legend, Robin Thicke) have returned to Berklee to help cultivate the institutions next generation of artists and creators. Through a method that is purposefully collaborative and inclusive of all artistic visions and identities, Lewis and Rodriguez aim to create experiences that are enriching for students and entertaining for audiences.
Singers Showcase: Bond James Bond: Theme Songs Thursday, December 10, 7:30 p.m.
In anticipation of the upcoming 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, Berklee's most outstanding lead vocalists, instrumentalists, and arrangers will pay tribute to the franchise's unmistakable protagonist, 007. Produced by Maureen McMullan, the virtual concert will feature a full rhythm section, horns, strings, background vocalists, dancers, and a special guest. Through musical arrangements served straight up and with a twist, the performers will interpret a stylistically diverse selection of Bond theme songs curated from across the 50 years of the franchise. Relive Monty Norman's signature Bond theme and iconic hits made famous by legends Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, and Gladys Knight alongside more contemporary cuts by Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, and the late Chris Cornell. And don't miss your chance to hear a world premiere of the winning song entry from our exclusive James Bond cocurricular competition. Hosted by Berklee Presents, in collaboration with Berklee's Songwriting and Film Scoring departments, students received a mission briefing to compose the next James Bond theme song. Expect an evening filled with fun, elegance, and thrill befitting a spy.
