Described as “not classical…but not, not classical” (David Srebnik Sirius XM Classical Producer), Invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. This multi-instrumental band encompasses bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism.
They have recently garnered major prizes at competitions including Akron and N Y City. Performances include Lincoln Center, Newberry Opera House, and Green Music Center. A fine, fun, eclectic and “classy and sassy” group who turns their classical training into a tour de force for the audience.
Joining this tour de force, pianist, Clarice Assad, is a tour de force herself. Known for her musical scope and versatility, this Brazilian-American is a significant artistic voice in the classical, world music, pop, and jazz genres. The Grammy-Award nominated composer, celebrated pianist, inventive vocalist and educator is acclaimed for her rich textures, and diverse stylistic range. As a composer, she has more than 70 works to her credit, including commissions for Carnegie Hall, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
