Roots & Renewal

exilio and DuoKava join forces presenting our collaborative concert: Roots & Renewal. This is a musical journey that bridges the distant past with the present, breathing new life into sounds that we once were familiar with. This concert explores the origin of music—traditional melodies, ancient text, and folk rhythms—reimagined through contemporary voices, instruments, and styles. This concert features music by Trumbore, Esmail, Gordon, Brouwer, Krouse, Goss and three premieres by Hannah Rice from exilio, Leighanne Saltsman and Olga Amelkina-Vera.

˙There will be a composer pre-show talk starting at 7 PM.
