In February, Sons of Serendip competed on "America's Got Talent: The Champions", the franchise that catapulted the band to world-wide notoriety in 2014 as "America's Got Talent" finalists and fan favorites. The genre-defying group also kicked off their 2019 tour and release a new original single, "Love You Still", on February 14th. The tour - which began with a packed house at Joe's Pub in NYC this month - is followed by over 40 U.S. concerts from coast to coast, through May (see dates below). This month the group also begins a residency with Boston area students in a series of performances and master classes based on themes from Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give.
Sons of Serendip (SoS) presents a surprising fusion of R&B and soul, combined with exquisite classical music chops, arranged for vocals, cello, harp and piano. SoS - Micah Christian (lead vocals), Kendall Ramseur (cello, vocals), Mason Morton (harp), Cordaro Rodriguez (piano, vocals) - have been on a whirlwind ride since 2014, recording three critically acclaimed albums, selling out concert halls and impressing tastemakers and critics alike. But it's been beyond AGT that the group has cemented themselves as a musical powerhouse, including performing at the Creative Arts Emmys, with the Boston Pops and Keith Lockhart, and having appeared alongside musical luminaries such as John Legend.
Sons of Serendip also performed for students and engage in audience discussions at Needham High School (Boston area) surrounding the student's two-day event exploring themes of Angie Thomas' book The Hate U Give. They will also interact with students in a series of masterclasses, providing coaching and insight into the creative process with the school district's Contemporary Music Ensemble and Jazz Bands, which will focus on group ensemble work, improvisation and making meaning through music.
"America's Got Talent: The Champions" brings together the world's most talented, memorable and all-around fan-favorite acts from past seasons of "AGT" which include former winners and finalists from across the globe and features the star-studded judges panel from "America's Got Talent" - executive producer Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel - as well as new host Terry Crews, star of NBC's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
