DANA LYN / CHARLIE BURNHAM / MARIKA HUGHES STRING TRIO

Dana Lyn, Charlie Burnham and Marika Hughes - composers, improvisers, longtime friends, and active members of the vibrant Brooklyn music community recently joined together as a string trio. This evening of original music, mostly composed in 2020/2021, captures the odd stillness of NYC seen from up close and afar and contrasting it with the phantom memory of the frenetic pace of pre-pandemic life in New York.

- Multi-instrumentalist and composer Dana Lyn has been commissioned by Brooklyn Rider, A Far Cry and Palaver Strings and works regularly with Stew, Vincent D’Onofrio and Taylor Mac; she is a 2020 NYFA Women’s Fund Grant Recipient.
- Violinist and singer Charlie Burnham is legendary for his thick, soulful sound; he has graced albums by James Blood Ulmer, Living Colour, Cassandra Wilson, MTO and Medeski Martin & Wood, among many others.
- Native New Yorker, cellist, singer and storyteller Marika Hughes “makes a joyful noise at the intersection of classical, jazz and experimental avenues (Mark Corroto, All About Jazz)”; she has worked with Whitney Houston, Anthony Braxton, Adele, Henry Threadgill, Idina Menzel, and Taylor Mac, to name just a few.
