In this interactive Open Rehearsal Demonstration ahead of their concert later that evening, the 16-member conductorless string ensemble Kinetic will highlight their uniquely and intensely collaborative approach to music-making, and how their rehearsal process fosters a more direct connection between the musicians on stage, as well as between performers and listeners, creating an exciting concert experience that reimagines the power structures of classical music. String players who are in an MTA ensemble are invited to bring their instruments to play alongside Kinetic, as part of this demonstration.

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 (Arts and +Culture Texas), and its “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts and Culture Texas). With a commitment to amplifying diverse, under-performed, and newly composed classical music, Kinetic has premiered over 20 new works by emerging and established composers of our time, including Karim Al-Zand, Patrick Harlin, Daniel Knaggs, Paul Novak, Nicky Sohn, Daniel Temkin, and more. Kinetic’s self-titled album, featuring four premiere recordings, was released in 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical charts.
