Deep Rooted: Celebrating Ten Years of Music-Making in Houston

Featuring premieres by composer Mason Bynes, Evan Ziporyn, and Giancarlo Latta

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!Read more

Stories Woven Through Dance

Join us for the Spring Soirée, an intimate celebration of dance, music, and storytelling hosted by the Garage Arts Project. The evening will feature captivating dance performances, offering a blend of emotional reflection and cultural richness.

Choreographed by Adam Castaneda, and performed by dancers of the Pilot Dance Company, the opening act A Quiet Ending, is a piece that reflects on the quiet, peaceful conclusion of a life defined by faith, family, and perseverance, honoring the choreographer’s grandmother.

The main performance, Moving Images, is a mesmerizing collection of dance works presented in the Shilpanatanam style, a unique movement form pioneered by Maya Kulkarni. The 45-minute performance will feature four distinct pieces, each drawing from classical Indian poetry, folk traditions, and temple arts, exploring themes of love, loss, and spirituality. Each piece in Moving Images is a powerful representation of storytelling through movement, rooted in deep cultural traditions. The performance will make its Houston debut at MATCH.

Come and experience the power of dance as a storytelling medium, blending ancient traditions with contemporary expression, in a truly unforgettable evening.Read more
