About this concert
The music of multi-instrumentalist and composer Emily Wells floats between contemporary classical, atmospheric dream pop and electronic sounds. Her compelling neo-gospel, built from percussion loops, violin and her powerful voice, she plays live like a full-fledged one-woman band, surrounded by instruments, drums and effects pedals. Under her at times dramatic, almost gothic-sounding music almost imperceptibly moves a compelling groove that betrays Wells' love for 90's hip-hop. As influences she names Wu-Tang Clan alongside John Cage and Phillip Glass. She will be joined by a cellist. See Emily play!

Phenomenal! Small venue, intimate experience was so rewarding for audience. Visuals that accompanied Wells were mesmerizing. Her voice and skill with all her instruments—incredible!

Emily Wells Biography
Forging a bridge between pop and chamber music, composer, producer, and video artist Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments. Her evocative music (described as “visionary” by NPR) and performances (called “quietly transfixing” by the New York Times) impel listeners to be attuned. Wells’s latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.
