Devonté Hynes Ensemble | Presented for the first time in the United States, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Devonté Hynes brings together an ensemble of glittering talent to perform new compositions. Devonté Hynes started in the punk band Test Icicles before releasing two orchestral acoustic pop records as Lightspeed Champion. Since 2011, Hynes has released six solo albums under the name Blood Orange, has written and produced for pop music superstars, and is an accomplished composer who has made an impressive mark for himself within the classical music space. Tariq Al-Sabir is an internationally distinguished interdisciplinary artist, composer and music director whose work spans performance, improvisation, sound design, movement, poetry, theatre and film, with a practice rooted in genre-fluid experimentation and collaboration. Grammy-nominated pianist Adam Tendler is a pioneer of DIY culture in classical music who has been called ‘the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene’ (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Cæcilie Trier is a critically acclaimed cellist, singer and composer whose classical training infuses her varied and boundary-pushing musical projects and collaborations.
