“The best a capella group in the world” – Quincy Jones
Naturally 7’s musical journey spans from Michael Bublé, Coldplay, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Phil Collins and Mahalia Jackson through to Queen … and it’s guaranteed there are no instruments – just voices. They are a band without a band and they call their music “vocalplay”- making beatboxing look like child’s play! With their rich harmonies, an unbelievable ability to replicate instruments, what they do is far more than a capella. Naturally 7, the first VocalPlay group ever, will amaze and charm you as they do with audiences whenever they perform.

The 45th annual Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts presents The Glass Menagerie – a Tennessee Williams play, on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21st and 22nd.
It became an instant classic in 1944 when it was first produced and is considered one of the greatest American plays ever written. The 2020 production is directed by Bermudian Rowan Vickers.
Perhaps one of the best ways for us to strike at the heart of this year’s Festival theme “Come Together” and to truly confront the questions surrounding what it is that connects us is by watching and reflecting on the story of a family that is torn apart. It is a glimpse into the memory of Tom Wingfield, who is the narrator of the play as well as a character in it.
Showtime starts at 8pm on both days, in the Ruth Seaton James Auditorium at CedarBridge Academy.

Our Shakespeare On The Rock presentation for 2020 is the Midsummer Scene adaption of “Romeo and Juliet”. This version of the romantic tragedy is set in Northern Italy in the early 1960s during a time when several highranking Sicilian Mafiosi built networks with local underworld figures and eventually founded a high-calibre international syndicate, bringing old grudges and enmities along with them from the South. A background which lends itself perfectly to the story of Romeo and Juliet, a tale of betrayal, romance and rebellion.

This extraordinary acoustic foursome will be bringing their unique style to the Festival stage for a second time with two high-octane programmes of baroque-gypsy style early music.
