Since their inception in 2015, the 17-member strong ensemble has incorporated elements from a variety of traditions to create a unique musical environment. Middle Eastern, Indian and Western instruments come together, moving beyond the notions of style and tradition into a realm of uninhibited musical communication. At the Hop, they perform selections from their 2021 release, The Other Shore, as well as the arresting new piece, a meditation on distance and isolation entitled Emergence.
