PERFORMING ARTS LIVE
Two ensembles that are redefining classical music for the twenty-first century join forces in a rare and exclusive evening of boundary-breaking music. Flutronix is a duo comprising critically acclaimed flutists and composers Nathalie Joachim and Allison Loggins-Hull, who are regarded for their “unique blend of classical music, hip-hop, electronic programming and soulful vocals reminiscent of neo-R&B stars like Erykah Badu” (Wall Street Journal). Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy Award-winning ensemble that has been hailed for their “virtuosity and deft, precisely timed wit” (Washington Post). Together, they break new ground with a virtuosic and energetic performance of new music, including a collaboratively composed new work Rubix, which seamlessly bridges their unique sounds to create a rich and riveting sonic universe.

This engagement of Third Coast Percussion with Flutronix is made possible in part through the ArtsCONNECT program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts. |
