The Imbolc Community Creation Session is a hybrid open salon and jam session. We will be reclaiming the holiday by holding space for new compositions, poetry, and collective creation. Sonic contributions are encouraged, and a sign-up sheet will be available for those who would like to share new works.
King Sophia is a multidisciplinary storyteller and world-builder. Classically trained with a degree from Frost School of Music - University of Miami, King Sophia's cellistic and compositional skills are their main processors for the world around them. They’re also an electric guitarist, vocalist, conductor, educator, disc jockey and poet. As a versatile creator with roots in many genres from blues to bossa nova to avant-garde, King Sophia is known for their multidisciplinary explorations of strategic resistance and radical joy. King is especially known for their live arranging and live composing — what others call ‘improvisation.’ Each new creation is grounded in their identities of Black Indigenous Queerness and a desire to preserve, showcase, and build upon non-hegemonic music history. Using these core cultural threads as a foundation for their practices, King Sophia explores art and intention through a holistic lens to concoct sonic experiences that motivate, illuminate, alleviate, and empower.
