    Christylez Bacon with Wytold Teacher Guide: Classical Hip-Hop Description Remixing the classics, this program merges the contrasting worlds of Classical and Hip-Hop music in a collaborative musical program featuring GRAMMY nominated Progressive Hip-Hop artist Christylez Bacon (pronounced: chris-styles) and six-string electric cellist, Wytold (William Wytold Lebing). Traditional elements of hip-hop such as human beatbox, rhyming and storytelling are blended with classical compositions of composers like Bach, Vivaldi and Pachelbel. Christylez Bacon demonstrates the amazing human beat-box and how it can interplay with the percussive and bowing techniques the electric cello. On-stage audio engineering enhances the layers of rhythmic and tonal complexity. By building cross-cultural connections, these presentations help students gain insight into the universality of artistic expression; call and response techniques encourage direct audience participation in the performance experience. Program Objectives Students will learn about the elements of improvisation and ensemble performance and explore a range of tone qualities, rhythms, and musical genres. The program will demonstrate how music can be created using the most basic materials of the artist’s own voice and body in addition to using modern-day acoustic engineering technology. About the Artists Christylez Bacon Christylez Bacon adds a new flavor to hip-hop by mixing musical genres from around the world through multi-instrumental exploration of beat box (oral percussion), rap, go-go, classical music and beyond. He frequently performs with artists of diverse bacKgrounds as part of what Bacon calls his “mission towards cultural acceptance and unification through music.” Originally from Southeast Washington, DC, Christylez Bacon continues to perform and give bacK to his native community.

Two extra strings on his electric cello allow him to capture the depth and power of a stand- up bass, the rich tonal timbre of the acoustic cello, and the bright crispness of violin solos and harmonies. Wytold records these sounds live on both electric and acoustic cellos to create his own rock- orchestral accompaniment on stage. Wytold is an NS Design featured artist and also received a 2011 DCCAH Young Artist Grant to help fund his first solo album: When http://www.strathmore.org/education/series/view.asp?id=10102296[2/20/2013 1:04:06 PM] Strathmore - Education - Series Fulvio Finds Celeste, four songs of which received European and Australian radio play.
