Mariah Auler (cello), Kumi Maxson (double bass), and Kanoko Nishi-Smith (koto) bring together three unamplified string instruments in an improvising trio that explores texture, melody, and interplay as they push and pull on their instruments’ similarities and differences. Each of their unique voices shine in the sparseness of the instrumentation, mounting in moments of intense and intimate expression.

Cost: $10-20
