Recognized as one of the most successful collegiate vocal groups in the world, Gold Company is celebrating thirty-five years at Miller Auditorium—and you’re invited to the party! Gold Company’s 35th Anniversary Spectacular promises surprises and special guests, and will feature the trademark musical flair that audiences of all ages know and love. Gold Company comes to Miller Auditorium with their 35th annual show for two dazzling performances on Sat., Feb. 9, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
In addition to acclaimed shows throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and South Africa, the group continues to accumulate milestones including performances at Walt Disney World, Carnegie Hall, and Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. Under the direction of Duane Shields Davis, this high-energy ensemble combines musical elements from the traditional choral style with stylistic characteristics from the jazz vernacular, emphasizing improvisation and swing.
Gold Company has appeared with guest artists including Bobby McFerrin, Janis Siegel, Mark Murphy, Rosemary Clooney, Jon Hendricks, Don Shelton, and Bonnie Herman of The Singers Unlimited. In addition, Gold Company has had the honor of performing arrangements specifically written for the group by talents such as Gene Puerling, Clare Fischer, Darmon Meader, Michele Weir, Jennifer Shelton (an alumna), and others. Gold Company has also recorded several audio and video demo tapes for Hal Leonard Publications and Shawnee Press. Additionally, the ensemble has been awarded more than twenty "deebee" awards from Down Beat Magazine.
