On Nov. 15, Fredonia’s newest and only jazz a capella group, Dynamic Intonation, will be having their Fall show in Mason Hall. The group is accepting of all genders and was started in 2012.
According to Nicole Moy, a senior applied music major with a concentration in voice and the president of the a capella group, Dynamic Intonation is the youngest a capella group on campus. This semester, they have 15 members.
As a group, they take pride in their musicianship, artistry and performance. It is their goal to inspire their listeners emotionally and mentally.
Previously, they have performed at Fredonia’s Harvest Fest, The A capella Solo Swap, which raised money for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting last month, and even as far as the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Audience members can look forward to hearing a variety of different songs at the showcase.
“Some songs we will be doing at this event include ‘When I Fall In Love,’ ‘I’ll Be Seeing You,’ ‘House of the Rising Sun’ and some holiday favorites like ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘O Come All Ye Faithful,’” Moy said.
Along with Dynamic Intonation, there will be other groups performing, including a jazz combo. Another popular on-campus a capella group, Some Like It Hot, will be opening the show.
In this group, Moy says that their main focus is enjoying the music they make and building a family through the work they put in during rehearsals
“A lot of us have crazy schedules between classes, work and other rehearsals, so we try to use [Dynamic Intonati0n] as our outlet to just come make music with friends,” Moy explained. “Our favorite way of relaxing is impromptu McDonald’s trips though,” she joked.
Although the event is free, the group does suggest a small donation so they can travel to gigs and even record some of their songs.
