Hear Your Story is an innovative and dynamic vocal group consisting of five jazz vocalists from
the prestigious New England Conservatory. The group brings together both undergraduate and graduate students who hail from different corners of the globe, each contributing their own cultural and musical perspectives. The members of the group - Jillian Moore, Juliana Bautista, Farrell Smith, Rania Toli, and Mina Nystad – are united by their shared passion for vocal artistry. They explore an array of musical genres and vocal textures through both original compositions and creative arrangements, skillfully weaving together a wide range of styles, including traditional and contemporary jazz and indie-pop. As they experiment with vocal textures and harmonies, they seek to explore the potentials of bringing human voices together. Each performance is a vibrant storytelling experience, allowing the audience to connect deeply with the music and the emotions conveyed through song.
