Jamiia Franklin’s Sound Series!
Jamiia has performed within several ensembles 2024-2025. Within these groups she: partook in several world premieres, a ballet with EMU’s symphony orchestra and students of EMU’s dance program, and performed with EMU’s marching band at Ford Field. Jamiia Franklin loves collaborating in these larger ensemble settings. However, she feels called to her smaller, more intimate collaborations through hosting recitals.
Through her recitals, Jamiia connects with her audience more than ever: arranging pieces to perform with her friends (and partner), performing expressive oboe solos, and highlighting various groups of musicians Jamiia gigs with. The sound series are the two recital performances Jamiia shared during her senior year in college. The recitals of this series are titled “Enchantment In Sound” and “A Tapestry Of Sounds“.
