PUBLIQuartet: What is American: Rhythm Nation

The follow-up to PUBLIQuartet's GRAMMY®-nominated What Is American project, What Is American: Rhythm Nation celebrates American rhythmic traditions as expressions of bodily autonomy and tacit history keeping. From the propulsive beat-breaks of Daniel Bernard Roumain’s Hip-Hop Etudes to the shifting textures of Andy Akiho's Quartet No. 1 "Mobile on a Stream into the Sound,” this wide-ranging exploration also features new works by Jeff Scott, Mazz Swift, and Eddie Venegas, commissioned with the support of a 2024 Chamber Music America Artistic Projects grant. Each of the pieces on the program evokes a distinct rhythmic world, reflecting the plurality of American movement(s) and protecting the unspoken spirit of their lineage’s narratives.
