Description

Two of the most creative minds in music today will convene at the Hunter Museum for an explosive String Theory Season Fourteen opener. Avery Fisher career grant recipients and innovators on their instruments, Alexi Kenney (violin) and Bridget Kibbey (harp) will delight audiences with a genre-bending program including Kibbey’s own adaptations for harp and treasured chamber music selections. A “musician to watch” (NY Times) and “the Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” these artists artfully intermingle intimacy and virtuosity to create musical alchemy.
