Dedicated to improvisation and composition, the ensemble performs new and existing works by its members as well as selected works by other artists. All five performers are experienced organizers and have worked in a variety of communities to promote music and musicians; through innovative collaborations, the artists of The Forest seek to contribute to, and expand upon, the musical traditions that inspire them. In this performance, they’re joined by renowned jazz percussionist Warren Smith, an original member of the groundbreaking ensemble M’BOOM. Tickets will go on sale August 21.
