BCG Impromptu/Signs


I heard music as I crossed the street to Bonifacio High Street.  I thought it was a band performing at the entertainment center.  I followed where the music was coming from and found a crowd gathered around a quadriplegic singing a Daughtry song.  A microphone was attached to his wheelchair and there were speakers by his feet--he was accompanied by a minus one.  He had a powerful voice, too!

On my next visit to High Street, I saw a juggler and an acoustic trio.  BCG's Impromptu gives unknown street artists a venue to share their passions and show off their exceptional talent and creativity.  Street artists don't have to pay for rent, the space is for free--all they need are their talent, instruments, props and the enthusiasm to perform.

There are so many talented people out there who never get a chance to show what they can do - I love the street musicians, and never knowing who or what you might see at each visit!

That's a wonderful idea! For sure these acts attract a large crowd. I've never been to BGC yet.
