Renaissance Heart is a new, eclectic, world music ensemble. They seamlessly blend Folk, Jazz, World and Classical music together to create something truly new and beautiful.
Hila Plitmann- A two time Grammy winning vocalist fronts the band with her breathtaking voice that you may recognize from Hans Zimmer's, The Da Vinci Code, Frank Zappa's 200 Motels w/The LA Philharmonic or Eric Whitacre's Goodnight Moon. Hila is one of the most sought after soloists in the classical music scene but is just as at home singing jazz standards, New Age or Modern Folk.
Shea Welsh- An amazing guitarist and composer, is one of LA's most sought after session players who has logged countless hours with the industry's top producers. As a sideman, he has shared the stage with many of the world’s finest musicians including The Edge, guitarist from U2; Flea, bassist of The Red Hot Chili Peppers; Stewart Copeland, drummer for The Police.
Adiyta Kalyanpur is a Tabla Master whose artistry ads eastern color and flavor to Renaissance Hearts unique sound.
Renaissance Heart will showcase guest artists throughout the show with intermittent poetry colorings by the world class poets from The Red Hen Press.
