Kinetic Ensemble closes out its milestone 10th season with a program tracing and celebrating its Houston roots. The evening features no less than three premieres: a new work by composer Mason Bynes (who hails from Sugar Land, and is now based in New York) that expands upon her school-age hobby of composing musical telegrams for friends and classmates; the Texas premiere of In Light of Sound by genre-defying artist Evan Ziporyn, written for Kinetic’s residency at MIT earlier this Spring; and a short fanfare by founding member, violinist-composer Giancarlo Latta. The program concludes with Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, which is a nod to Kinetic’s first performance in 2015 that featured this work. Celebrate 10 years of collaborative music-making and “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts and Culture Texas) with Kinetic!

-curated by Natalie Lin Douglas, Giancarlo Latta, and Patricia Ryan, founding members
