Women Of The World

Women of the World

 

Created in 2008 by the visionary vocalist Ayumi Ueda, Women of the World attempts to combine the musical prowess of women musicians from every continent on Earth.  The current core members (Ayumi Ueda - Japan; Ali Rapetti - USA; Giorgia Renosto - Italy; Annette Philip - India) work with an eclectic ensemble of instrumentalists to create rich tapestries of culture and sound as they perform both original and traditional songs.  

Founded at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, Women of the World also instituted the World Peace Choir at Berklee, bringing women from over 46 countries together on a common platform. Following their recent debut at Carnegie Hall, New York, the group is currently touring in and around Boston, and hopes to reach out to audiences across the globe in the near future. First two stops - Japan and Israel.



The Makanda Project

 

An ensemble based in Makanda Ken McIntyre's hometown of Boston, The Makanda Project is dedicated to continuing Makanda's legacy through the performance of his music - specifically, by playing compositions which Makanda never had the opportunity to record or perform in public. Annette is honored to perform with Berklee faculty members, including Diane Richardson, Yoron Israel and John Lockwood, on this Big Band project.



Artistes Unlimited

Artistes Unlimited

 

What began as an idea in 2003 has now evolved into India’s largest and most diverse performing arts ensemble, with a rotating line up of over 250 artists. Founded by Annette Philip and Anantika Bakht, Artistes Unlimited (AU) was a first-of-its-kind platform that sought to promote young artists in a non-competitive environment in the city of New Delhi. With music as its core focus, AU performs a vast repertoire spanning jazz, a-cappella, gospel, rock, R&B, musical theatre, Indian and Western classical, and Sufi and folk traditions.  

Believing in experimentation and the immense power of collaborative action, Artistes Unlimited is now a registered charitable trust committed not only to empowering young artists and entrepreneurs, but also aims to use the arts to educate, inspire, and effect real social change.
