For over a year, the #BerkleeAnywhere weekly concert series has showcased Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory at Berklee students from across the globe collaborating for virtual performances. Beginning in April 2020, a time when concerts and in-person events were being canceled, #BerkleeAnywhere focused on student artists who were continuing to create, collaborate, and innovate even during the difficult stay-at-home period. Every week on Berklee's Instagram and Facebook pages, students worked together to help bring music to audiences that hungered for music more than ever before.
On August 31 at 8:00 p.m. ET, the final #BerkleeAnyhwhere show will feature Curtis Heimburger B.M. 21 and Josh Polack B.M. 21 from the Boston-based rock band Mom Rock. The members met at Berklee in 2018, bonding over their mutual love for rock bands such as Weezer, Cage the Elephant, Bleachers, and Catfish and the Bottlemen. In a few short years, Mom Rock has earned a reputation for their electrifying performances, eclectic original songs, and monochrome get-ups. They have been featured in Alternative Press and Sound of Boston, and were voted winners of the Suburban Rose Magazine Internet Indie Awards. The performance will be broadcast on Berklees Facebook and IGTV pages.
Throughout August 2021, #BerkleeAnywhere has continued to showcase student performers with immense talent and inspiration. On August 3, Venezuela-native Daniella Ravelo brought her vocal stylings-combining R&B, soul, pop, and Latin ballads-to the #BerkleeAnywhere stage. Accompanied by guitarist Alejo Topet, Ravelo covered Those Sweet Words by Norah Jones, A Primera Vista by Pedro Aznar, and In Too Deep by Jacob Collier, with audio mixed by Rodrigo Martins and video edited by Jihae Kim. A video of Ravelos full performance can be viewed on Facebook.
Shifting focus mid-month, #BerkleeAnywhere's #BerkleeBound series featured students from the entering class of 2021. On August 10, Montreal-native multilingual singer Rebecca Soul, collaborating with keyboardist Samuel Gagnon, performed Queen by Jessie J, Les trottoirs du boulevard St-Laurent by Diane Tell, and Tango by Diane Reeves. A video of Souls full performance can be viewed on Facebook.
On August 17, Tehran, Iran native Armin Morshed performed solo on classical guitar, covering Until by Sting, You Don't Want to Get You One of Those by Tommy Emmanuel and Mark Knopfler, and his original song Heaven's Path. The performance already has almost 150,000 views on Instagram, making it the most-viewed episode in the #BerkleeAnywhere series. A video of Morsheds full performance can be viewed on Facebook.
On August 24, San Diego native, vocalist and songwriter Destiny, performed my future by Billie Eilish, her original song Ride, and My Hair by Ariana Grande. A video of Destinys full performance can be viewed on Facebook.
It has been heartening to see how the series has created such a following from our musicians, community, and audiences around the world that look forward to a new release every week, says Jonathan Foo, concert producer and event liaison for Berklee. Despite such a trying year and a half, music has proven that it will live on. As we conclude this journey, we are excited to start a new chapter of projects with our community as we continue to create, innovate, and adapt to the pandemic and everything that life throws at us.
