The members of the band Invoke will work with students of all ages, skill levels, and any instrument in a group setting to stretch their perspective and skills. Students will explore their own musical voice through improvisation and learn new tools for bringing creativity into their daily practice. The hope is that students might connect with their music in a new way or even reignite the spark about their music if they need it (and most of us do at times). This will be a great way to get students through the long winter!

Described as “...not anything but everything: Classical, Folk, Bluegrass, Americana and a sound yet to be termed seamlessly merged into a perfect one” (David Srebnik, SiriusXM Classical Producer), Invoke successfully dodges even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental quartet encompasses traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism. Fueled by their passion for storytelling, Invoke weaves all of these styles together to form a unique contemporary repertoire, featuring original works composed by and for the group.
