Hana Kramer makes UW-Whitewater 2015-16 Vocal Jazz Ensemble

2015 Nov 13

Hana Kramer, a sophomore music major from Spencer, Wis., has been selected as a member of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater 2015-16 Vocal Jazz Ensemble.

The group performs various forms of music including jazz, swing, samba, ballads, bossa nova and contemporary pop, and develops an ability to improvise by singing scat music.

"Most of the singers did not have a great deal of experience improvising with their voices prior to this ensemble, so that has been a tricky and exciting opportunity," said Sharri VanAlstine, director of the Vocal Jazz Ensemble.

This ensemble is an auditioned group open to all majors. Its next performance is 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at Light Recital Hall in the Greenhill Center of the Arts.
