"Fun, bold and unpredictable, Whitney Live showcases an eclectic variety of cutting-edge performers." Tonight features a collaboration between the genre-bending ensembles So Percussion and Kneebody. "ffortlessly blending the improvisational skill of jazz with the swagger of hip hop and the conviction of rock, Kneebody has created a cohesive voice that is at once singular and familiar. Their organic, postmodern instrumental music imparts "an epic, trans-generational gravity." So Percussion creates new visual and aural experiences by pulling percussion instruments out of their usual contexts. The group’s educational initiatives have resulted in residencies with composition departments at Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia University, and their collaborations include a project with the electronica duo Matmos."
