IMMERSE Fan Favorite Orlando Vocal Collective Takes Center Stage This Summer, Presented by Massey Services

Creative City Project invites audiences to experience one of the most celebrated performances from its annual IMMERSE festival in a whole new way. This summer, the Orlando Vocal Collective is stepping into the spotlight with its own featured performance. “An Evening With the Orlando Vocal Collective” presented by Massey Services offers an intimate experience with the company’s signature artistry, featuring expanded vocal arrangements of OVC’s favorites. The show invites audiences into an encounter with the group’s nuanced arrangements and world-class vocalists. An ensemble of 11 singers and a four-piece band reimagines beloved songs spanning generations, from the iconic sounds of Janet Jackson and Earth, Wind & Fire to fresh arrangements of artists celebrated in past IMMERSE performances, including Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. OVC brings these songs to life through thrilling harmonies and world-class lead vocals.

Performances (75 minutes) are Thursday, Aug. 6, Friday, Aug. 7, and Saturday, Aug. 8, at 1010 West in the heart of Downtown Orlando.

“Orlando Vocal Collective’s performances at IMMERSE Fest have been unforgettable highlights of the festival,” says Melyssa Marshall, executive director of Creative City Project.  “They are a true gift to our community, showcasing the very best of the creative talent in Central Florida, and we’re excited to partner with them for our next show.”

“This is Orlando Vocal Collective in a way audiences haven’t experienced before: intimate, honest and centered on the heart of who we are,” says Chris Keough, founder and director of Orlando Vocal Collective. “We’re focusing in on the voices, our connection and our love for the vocal arts, creating something that feels deeply special and beautifully human.” 

“Orlando Vocal Collective’s performances are big enough to fill the city streets during IMMERSE. For the last two years, I’ve watched audiences stand in awe of OVC’s talent,” says Creative City Project founder and artistic director, Cole NeSmith. “Gathering in this more intimate space is going to be even more powerful. This is one of those shows that will make people say, ‘I’m glad I live in such a Creative City.’”
