music at the crossroads of culture and imagination
Step into a world where sound knows no borders. Sonic Realms invites you on a vibrant journey through music that is deeply rooted in tradition yet boldly reimagined. This program features flute, strings, piano, and percussion—including marimba—woven together in an exhilarating fusion of classical form, folk rhythm, and global color.

Whether drawn from distant lands or reimagined traditions, this is music that pulses with spirit and surprise. Sonic Realms is not just a concert - it’s a vivid celebration of music’s power to transcend place, time, and genre.
