About the Event

Experience Kinetic Ensemble, Houston’s premier string orchestra, as they present the world premiere of performances centered around climate and environmental issues. The evening includes creative collaborations with student composers from the Shepherd School of Music and students in creative writing and visual arts at Rice University.

More about Kinetic Ensemble:

Dubbed “Houston’s Indie, Conductorless Orchestra” (Houston Public Media) and “Best Chamber Orchestra of 2023” (Houston Press), the artist-led, artist-curated Kinetic Ensemble has gained increasing recognition as an innovative and dynamic force in Houston’s music scene, and an important advocate for the diversification of classical music repertoire. Formed in 2015, the 16-member conductorless string ensemble has been hailed for its “remarkably varied and rich strata of string colour” (Choir & Organ), its “visually arresting…brilliantly executed” performances, and its “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts+Culture Texas).

Registration is optional, and seating will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
