Interweave Ensemble
Nine musicians. Distinct traditions. Infinite possibilities.
Interweave Ensemble brings together nine extraordinary musicians whose artistic roots span Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Turtle Island.
Drawing upon the depth of repertoire, knowledge, and experience each musician brings, Interweave creates a space where distinct musical traditions meet on equal terms. Rather than requiring artists to compromise their musical identities or conform to a common musical system, the ensemble celebrates their unique strengths through traditional repertoire, original compositions, and collective improvisation.
Brought together by percussionist and composer Curtis Andrews (Turtle Island/Canada), the ensemble features Feven Kidane (trumpet, bass – Ethiopia), Russell Wallace (voice, percussion – Lil'wat Nation/Turtle Island), Kocasalle Dioubate (kora, percussion, voice – Guinea), Kurai Mubaiwa (mbira, voice, percussion – Zimbabwe), Israel “Toto” Berriel (percussion, voice – Cuba), Zhongxi Wu (sheng, suona – China), Marjan Alekhamis (kamancheh – Iran), and Shruti Ramani (voice – India).
Experience what becomes possible when extraordinary musical voices come together without boundaries. Get your tickets now for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening of musical discovery.
