The Linda WAMC's Performing Arts Studio
Join us for “Fever Pitch,” a groundbreaking multimedia work-in-progress performance by Taína Asili to sound the call for climate justice. Immerse yourself in a one-hour multimedia tapestry that seamlessly blends live music, dance, and projections, rooted in Asili’s prolific two-decade artistic journey creating music that addresses the intersectional issues related to the urgency of climate change.
Save the date: Saturday January 27th at The Linda Performing Arts Center, Albany, NY. Doors open at 6:30PM, show starts at 7:00 PM. TICKETS HERE.
Asili’s music, performed by talented musicians Gaetano Vaccaro, JoBeth Umali, and Gabby Canzeri, harmonizes with choreography crafted by Gregory Theodore Marsh, guiding the magical movements of dancers Hettie Barnhill and Eliana Rowe. Adding visual depth, the show weaves a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of projections brought to life by new media artist Joseph Amodei. There will also be a post-show conversation to follow.
About the Artist: Taína Asili is an Albany-based Puerto Rican singer, composer, interdisciplinary artist, and activist carrying on the tradition of her ancestors, fusing past and present struggles into one soulful and defiant voice. Asili’s Afro-Latin fusion sound of love and liberation has inspired audiences at venues across the globe – From the Women’s March on Washington to Carnegie Hall to the mainstage of San Francisco Pride. Her freedom anthems and music videos inspired by social movements for racial, gender, and climate justice have been lauded by the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, and NPR. With powerful vocals and infectious beats, Asili’s music urges people to dance to the rhythm of rebellion.
