The collaboration between Bruce Hornsby and yMusic, under the moniker BRHYM, represents a significant fusion of musical genres, combining Hornsby’s Americana roots with yMusic’s innovative approach to classical music. Hornsby, known for his Grammy-winning debut “The Way It Is” and extensive collaborations with notable artists including Bonnie Raitt and the Grateful Dead, brings a rich history of American music to the partnership. His contributions to over 100 albums highlight a career dedicated to musical diversity and collaboration. On the other side, yMusic, established in New York City in 2008, has made a name for itself by blurring the lines between classical and contemporary music. Their work with composers and musicians across various genres has led to a unique sound that defies traditional classification, culminating in their latest self-titled album of original compositions.
This event, featuring the performance of BRHYM in Foellinger Great Hall at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, is not merely a concert but an amalgamation of musical histories and forward-thinking compositions. Attendees of the event will receive a copy of “Deep Sea Vents,” the collaborative album from BRHYM, further solidifying the tangible connection between the artists and their audience. The venue, known for hosting a diverse array of performances, provides an ideal setting for this synthesis of musical styles. This performance serves as a showcase for the evolving landscape of music, where genres intersect and new sounds emerge from the collaboration of seasoned artists like Hornsby and the innovative ensemble yMusic.
