Described by the New York Times as "virtuosic, intense and soulful" and by the New Yorker as "captivating", the Syrian-born, Brooklyn-based composer and clarinettist Kinan Azmeh has enjoyed great success worldwide as a soloist, composer and improviser. He has worked with many renowned musicians such as Daniel Barenboim and John McLaughlin and won a Grammy with the Silkroad Ensemble in 2016. His latest album with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, "Uneven Sky", was awarded the OPUS KLASSIK 2019 music prize. With his New York-based ensemble Kinan Azmeh CityBand, Azmeh strives for a balance between classical music, jazz and the music of his home country Syria, creating music inspired by many traditions. Azmeh's expressive clarinet meets Kyle Sanna's rustic guitar, which at times rises above the dynamic and volatile background of John Hadfield's drums and Josh Myers' double bass. Each band member comes from different backgrounds and brings their own personal flair to this ensemble, resulting in an exciting listening experience.
