Composer/flutist/vocalist Nathalie Joachim will perform her piece  Ki Moun Ou Ye, which explores her Haitian heritage. The piece is an introspective journey that delves into self-discovery, ancestral connection, and cultural memory. It explores  the voice’s role as a tool for survival, drawing inspiration from her family’s seven generations of life on their remote Haitian farmland, and features a vibrant tapestry of Joachim’s voice, electronically sampled vocal textures, and an instrumental ensemble conducted by David Bloom.

Also on the program:

• Marcos Balter’s We Carry Our Homes Within Us Which Enables Us To Fly|

• inti figgis-vizueta’s Form the Fabric

• Paul Wiancko’s Thous&ths.
