Elon University will premiere a virtual concert by cellist and vocalist Shana Tucker at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 10. The concert can be accessed here and will be available on-demand through March 17.
Tucker’s unique genre of “ChamberSoul” weaves jazz, roots, folk, acoustic pop, and a touch of R&B. She is intrinsically drawn to acoustic instruments because of their resonance, warmth, and intimacy. ChamberSoul brings the audience closer and makes the music tangible, no matter how large or small the room.
Tucker studied cello at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she took her first dive into improvisational performance and honed her singer-songwriting skills. She later received her degree in violoncello performance from CUNY-Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, where she studied with master cellist Marion Feldman. Shortly after the release of her debut CD “SHiNE” in 2011, Cirque du Soleil recruiters invited Tucker to be cellist/vocalist for the show, “KÀ” in Las Vegas, where she performed for five years before returning to North Carolina.
