Week 8 of our Music For Dessert series features Project Locrea. Project Locrea (from LO-ve and CREA-tivity) is a global jazz-fusion ensemble dedicated to creating and performing original compositions and contemporary arrangements inspired by folk music of different countries. Combining sound and instrumentation of world folk traditions with classical, jazz and contemporary music conventions, the project’s focus is to bring a better understanding and deeper connection between cultures in current days.
The ensemble’s eponymous first album received nominations and won 1st place in two WAMMIE 2022 (Washington Area Music Awards) categories – Best World Music Group and Best World Music Song for their rendition of the Ethiopian folk song “Abet, Abet” featuring Munit Mesfin.
The ensemble is also part of the Touring Artist Roster of the Virginia Commission for the Arts – a grant program that provides opportunities for Virginians to experience high-quality performing arts events and promote high-quality Virginia artists. This project is supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
This concert is for in-person and for livestreamed audiences viewing from home. No refreshments are served. The concert will be 45-60 minutes.
