JEREMY PELT & ENDEA OWENS
Jeremy Pelt, celebrated for his virtuosic trumpet playing and collaborations with legends like Roy Hargrove and Cassandra Wilson, draws on his extensive experience as a bandleader and composer to create music that is both thoughtful and bold. This richly textural, Afro-futuristic work is centered on the stories and mysticism of masks, examining the folklore surrounding them and the spiritual power they hold. Featuring vocalist Candice Hoyes, the piece takes on an operatic dimension, with the human voice heightening its drama, ritual, and emotional scope.
Endea Owens, a member of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert band and a Juilliard graduate who has worked with Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste, and Diana Ross, infuses her music with passion and purpose shaped by her Detroit roots and deep commitment to community. Her work incorporates vocalists as well as dance company Sekou McMiller + Friends, adding a powerful physical and visual layer that brings the music’s themes of ancestry, grounding, and resilience vividly to life. This composition draws from multiple genres, blending elements of R&B, Gospel, Blues, and beyond.
