Award winning composer, saxophonist, and flutist Anna Webber performs with her band Simple Trio (Matt Mitchell, piano; John Hollenbeck, drums) blending strands from contemporary concert music and free improvisation. It is surprising, inventive, virtuosic, and engagingly problematizes entrenched notions about the genre of a jazz trio.
“Welcome to our galaxy of harmony and melody, music and philosophy, good vibes and love over everything else. Welcome to Freetown.” After a celebrated virtual visit last year, Trinidadian band, Freetown Collective, will be on campus, live, straight from performing at SXSW in Austin, touring for the first time in North America. Muhammad Muwakil and Lou Lyons, along with DJ Rawkus, redefine Calypso and Soca genres to create soulful, compelling, irresistibly infectious music, designed to lift people up and amplify issues of empowerment and Social Justice. Please join us for an evening of deeply inspired and moving music.
