Utilizing a unique blend of global folk traditions and contemporary jazz, Kinetic’s performance efforts celebrate multiculturalism, wisdom, and unity. The diverse and adaptable music collective was first imagined when its founder, composer and pianist Joseph Sheehan, created music that reflected his experiences studying traditional music in Ghana, classical composition, and jazz. This performance presents brand new music and arrangements shaped by folk songs from Uganda and the United States, interwoven with original jazz-inspired songs. The songs share and celebrate life through different cultural and generational perspectives.
