Kinetic Ensemble and Miguel Zénon: Yo Soy La Tradición
From Kinetic Ensemble:
The GRAMMY® winning saxophonist and composer, Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón returns to Houston for a special performance at the Hobby Center presented by Kinetic Ensemble and Aperio, Music of the Americas. In this one-night only event, Zenón joins Houston’s own Billboard Chart-topping Kinetic Ensemble for the premiere of a new version of Yo Soy La Tradición, a suite of eight songs for saxophone and string orchestra based upon his 2018 album of the same name. This evening-length work has been described as an “imaginative and heartfelt tour” of Zenón’s native Puerto Rico, which he originally recorded just two days after Hurricane Maria made its landfall on the island.
Each of the eight pieces showcases a different cultural tradition, ranging from Germán Rosario’s songwriting in the Jibaro tradition, which Zenón sets as a fugue, to the religious tradition of “La Promesa,” represented by a harmonic meditation of three, simultaneously-improvising cellists. As a whole, this captivating work “blurs lines between jazz, classical and Puerto Rican folk music.”

Kinetic Ensemble: Dark Matter at the Cullen Theater
From Kinetic Ensemble:
As winners of Performing Arts Houston’s 2025/2026 New/Now award, we are thrilled to present the world premiere of Dark Matter, a concerto for flute and strings by composer Jaylin Vinson, on a shared program with fellow winners Mezclada Dance Company led by Joel Aguilera and Kay Prince. Vinson’s new work features flutist Tyler Martin, and takes inspiration from the speculative worlds of Octavia Butler, who redefined the boundaries of science fiction and, in so doing, offered expansive visions of Black futures.
As 2026 marks twenty years since Butler’s passing, this new work celebrates the ongoing legacy of the Black imagination in speculative and science fiction. "Dark Matter" unfolds across five movements, each exploring a different kind of space — from the grounded to the galactic, the digital to the mental interior. The work employs sonic storytelling as a modality of the continued exploration of Black futures, building new mythologies and folklore through sound.

Kinetic Ensemble: The Stranger's Case at MATCH Theater
From Kinetic Ensemble:
We are thrilled to partner with Musiqa to present the world premiere of Canadian-American composer Karim Al-Zand’s The Strangers’ Case. The GRAMMY® award-winning, Lebanese-American tenor Karim Sulayman joins the ensemble for this song cycle for tenor and string orchestra that gathers poems and other turn-of-the-century accounts by immigrants to the United States, and situates them among texts from canonically venerated authors including Shakespeare and Dickinson.
The Strangers’ Case will be preceded by the incidental music to Igor Stravinsky’s ballet Apollon Musagète, which he wrote contemporaneously with many of Al-Zand’s texts. Both the composer and his longtime collaborator, choreographer George Balanchine, have cited Apollon as a turning point in their careers: the pair themselves later immigrated to the United States, where their professional partnership continued to flourish.

From Opus Nova:
A Baroque masterpiece, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons has for centuries inspired musicians, including modern composers who use aesthetics and ideas from the original to express their own, individualistic versions. Experience a unique performance that blends Astor Piazzolla’s tango-flavored version, Max Richter’s minimalistic reimagining, and Vivaldi’s original work. Brand new transitions, written by composer Alexander Timofeev, will help bind these versions together and unify these distinct compositions.”

Kinetic Ensemble: Notes Unspoken at MATCH Theater
Kinetic Ensemble continues its momentum into its second decade as one of Houston’s most exciting chamber ensembles, with thoughtfully curated, innovative, and artistically excellent performances. At the center of this season-opening concert program is Benjamin Britten’s Double Concerto for Violin and Viola (1932), which features Kinetic founder and Artistic Director Natalie Lin Douglas (pictured above center) and core violist Sebastian Stefanović (pictured above right) as soloists.
Accompanying the Double Concerto will be the premiere of a new string arrangement of Unstrung by Rice graduate Alex Berko (pictured above left), which pays homage to the bluegrass traditions of Kentucky; Michael Torke's December, which evokes the "cozy cheer" the composer felt on his paper route in the early days of Milwaukee winter; and American composer Libby Larsen’s String Symphony (1999), a lush and expansive work that pays homage to strings and explores the notion of an “American English” musical vernacular.
Our vision for this program as a whole is one that captures the inventiveness, virtuosity, and the expressive capability of the string orchestra as a powerful symphonic body.

"Sounds & Sweet Airs" with The Rossini Club
Bree performs in Nantucket’s annual chamber music festival, The Rossini Club, with pianist Wesley Ducote, clarinetist and founder Nicholas Davies, and violinist Emelyn Bashour.
From The Rossini Club:
“Inspired by Caliban’s iconic soliloquy from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, this unique concert invites you to immerse yourself in the sounds and sweet airs of our island, where music mirrors the beauty, violence, and dream-like qualities of the natural world. The first half transports us to England, featuring the evocative music of Baroque master Henry Purcell and selections from Thomas Adès' contemporary opera based on The Tempest, both of which capture the ethereal and tempestuous spirit of Shakespeare's play.
In the second half, we journey to nature itself, with works that evoke its primal power and pastoral beauty. Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Quintette em forma de chôros channels the raw energy of nature through its primitivist style, while Robert Schumann’s Waldszenen (Scenes from the Forest) offers a whimsical, almost dream-like exploration of the forest’s quiet beauty. Together, these pieces reflect the paradox of humanity’s relationship with nature: both a part of it and yet distanced from it, caught in a world where both violence and tranquility coexist.
This concert celebrates the love of music, nature, and the dream-like qualities that weave them together into a seamless, transcendent experience.”
“Hearth & Homeland” with The Rossini Club
Bree will perform in Nantucket’s annual chamber music festival, The Rossini Club, joined by pianist Wesley Ducote, clarinetist and founder Nick Davies, and violinist Emelyn Bashour.
From The Rossini Club:
“Love of country has long been a powerful cultural force, shaping everything from personal identity to politics and art. This concert delves into the varied portrayals of Eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, as expressed through the music of three of the region's most renowned composers: Shostakovich, Dvořák, and Khachaturian. Soviet era composers, such as Aram Khachaturian and Dmitri Shostakovich, found themselves grappling with questions of cultural identity and its place in a collectivist society, while also reflecting the profound sense of isolation that marked this repressive time. Looking further back to the 19th century, Antonín Dvořák used his compositions to celebrate his Czech heritage, drawing inspiration from the rich folk traditions and national music of his homeland..”
The Rossini Club: Meet & Greet
From The Rossini Club:
“Our annual Meet & Greet gives our audience a chance to explore the music of this season with attention to the history, context and inner workings of the pieces we love to perform. This year we explore the lasting connections between music of the Baroque era by J.S. Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude and Henry Purcell vis-a-vis chamber music of the modern era, including our featured composer Sarah Gibson and Rossini Club director Nick Davies.
Come curious, as we’ll be taking your questions for our esteemed guest artists!
This is a free event and open to the public; you can click here for more information about this event and the Nantucket Atheneum. “
Bree will perform Thomas Adès’ Court Studies, the Henry Purcell Garland, Sarah Gibson’s Carry, and the Prelude from J.S. Bach’s Suite No. 4 in E-flat Major.
