About the Performers:
Kitsune, is an avant-garde music project initiated six years ago by Kiyan Fox, and is comprised of guitars, violin, vocals, drums, and electronics. With six members who are also involved in various other projects (Moraine, Kled, Contraband Countryband, Stellarum, Fungal Abyss, and T-Rox, etc.), Kitsune's experimental nature draws inspiration from planetary squares and evocations, and songs that are beautiful, dark and dreamy.
Koto no WA, a koto ensemble formed nearly 20 years ago at Nikkei Manor, has evolved to play traditional and contemporary songs for local events, such as the International Culture Festival at Meany Hall, From Hope to Hiroshima, Aki Matsuri (Japanese Fall Festival), and seasonal events at Seattle Japanese Garden. Over the years, they've expanded their membership to include beginners and intermediate players who learned koto during childhood. They actively perform at local events, including Nikkei Manor, Sakura-Con, Japan Fair, Seattle Japanese Garden, Seattle Cherry Blossom Run, Mukai Farm & Garden (Vashon Island), and various public schools in the Greater Seattle area.
Katrina Wolfe’s “Unveiling in a Misty Landscape” will be a largely improvised work, incorporating various organic materials contributing both visually and sonically to the piece. In her movement, Katrina will draw inspiration from deep self-reformation work that has been blossoming with the new year, and the visions for what lies ahead. The piece will also draw from the immense tragedies taking place in the world, and allow both personal and global, grief and joy to nestle closely together, amidst the always, underlying acknowledgment of the interconnectedness of humans beings and the natural world.
Joey Largent will accompany the piece with vocals and a variety of instruments.
