Haley Fohr

Ecstatic Music

Singer/songwriter Haley Fohr teams up with the virtuosic, barrier-defying pianist Erika Dohi and Brooklyn Youth Chorus for an evening of new music at the Kaufman Music Center. Fohr is a vocalist, composer and singer-songwriter based in Chicago who is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar. Described as "virtuosic" (New York Times) and "barrier-defying artist" (Mix Magazine), Osaka-born and New York-based pianist Erika Dohi is a multi-faceted artist with an eclectic musical background. From highly polished traditional classical to bold improvisation, she is a dynamic performer whose timeless style and unidiomatic technique sets her apart in contemporary NYC avant-garde circles.

Featuring the world premiere of a new song cycle by composer Alev Lenz.
