The Esplanade Association presents GroundBeat: The Esplanade’s Free Riverfront Music Series-- Kadence Arts at the Hatch Shell on Monday, July 15.

The GroundBeat Music Series returns with Kadence Ensemble, the premiere percussion-focused music group of New England. Experience a night of live dance and upbeat music brought to you by the Kadence Ensemble’s high-energy performance.

Kadence Ensemble is directed by international touring artist, Maria Finkelmeier, who has previously been named a “one-woman dynamo” by the Boston Globe. A variety of Finkelmeier’s percussion-focused songs from her debut album will be featured during the performance, along with Terry Riley’s famous journey in improvisatory minimalism called “In C” by a 15 piece band. Along with being the founder and director of Kadence Arts, Finkelmeier is notable for being a percussionist, composer, educator and arts entrepreneur. She has toured internationally as both a soloist and member of various ensembles, as well as a percussionist in the Baltic Sea Philharmonic.

All events in the series will feature food trucks, games, and new seating!
