Grammy Award winner is Montgomery Fellow
 Ten-time Grammy Award winner Bobby McFerrin will perform on Tues., Apr. 5 at 7 p.m. in The Hopkins Center, Spaulding Auditorium. His visit to Dartmouth is part of the Montgomery Fellows program and will include a coaching session with the Dartmouth Chamber Singers on Mon., Apr. 4 at 6 p.m. in Rollins Chapel. The coaching session is open to the community. A virtuoso a capella singer with a four-octave range, he has been called "one of the natural wonders of the music world." McFerrin encompasses the worlds of jazz, rock, the classics and others to create his own unique, experimental vocal stylings. An accomplished orchestral conductor, innovative composer and advocate for music education, he has collaborated with artists ranging from comedian Billy Crystal to jazz musicians Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock to the Vienna Philharmonic. His CDs include Simple Pleasures, Medicine Music, Paper Music and Beyond Words, among many others.
McFerrin's Montgomery Fellowship is the second in a series on the arts that began with writers Grace Paley and Robert Nichols this winter. Montgomery Fellow playwright Wendy Wasserstein will be on campus to speak, perform and meet with students during the spring and summer terms.
