ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will present the award-winning electroacoustic duo ARKAI, who will preview their new album "Crossroads" on Friday, July 26, 2024 at 7:30 P.M. 

 

According to a press release:

 

ARKAI has inspired audiences around the world through their genre-defying string music. Graduates of The Juilliard School, their past engagements have included performances at The MET, Joe's Pub, City Winery, US Air Force Academy, Rockwood Music Hall, 54 Below, Lincoln Center, Musikfest, Chateau Marmont, Carnegie Hall and TED. They recently opened for Oscar and Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste at YPO EDGE hosted in NYC's Javits Center. 

 

As creative collaborators, ARKAI was commissioned by the Museum of Chinese in America to compose a work for their exhibition Responses: Asian Americans Resisting the Tides of Racism. Other commissions have included a piece for Silver Lining Ltd's Impact 5X initiative — a global economic justice project supporting hundreds of small business owners from underserved communities around the world.

 

ARKAI was selected by the U.S. Department of State and the Association of American Voices to participate in the '21-22 American Music Abroad season. Through this program, ARKAI has engaged in exchange programs with underserved audiences around the world with little or no access to American music, demonstrating the power of cultural diplomacy as a tool to bring people together.
