Bask in a night of beauty with two of NYCs most exciting and profound musical acts

ElectraBrassPop artist AANI crafts a sanctuary through sound. Vocalist, brass player, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, songwriter and storyteller Aaron "Aani" Kisslinger (they/them) is a born and raised New Yorker who believes the future lies in the past. They infuse original soulful Pop music with their background in Balkan Brass, Klezmer, and cantorial music, imagining innovative new possibilities rooted in ancestral traditions. AANI’s most recent album “Fresh Air | Neshome” is a shimmering celebration of collective liberation, life-breath, mysticism, queer love and human interconnectedness.

Chispa is a music project led by vocalist and songwriter Julia Rocha-Nava alongside multi-instrumentalist Sebastián Ángel-Romero and a vibrant community of collaborators. Learning from music traditions of Latin America and the Caribbean, their debut album, Somos Medicina, dreams of composting systems of oppression, reconnecting with the land, and channeling the power of queer community.
