What is the sound of our personal histories? What happens when our family stories become melody and rhythm, and when that music fills the air in a room of listeners?

Join Kaoru Watanabe and a dynamic ensemble of artists at Joe’s Pub for Bloodlines Interwoven -- an evocative evening of original music and storytelling that honors the beauty of cultural inheritance and collective memory.

Bloodlines Interwoven is a multi-year, multi-venue performance project that brings together artists from a wide range of backgrounds to share their family histories and create new music inspired by those personal narratives. Conceived by artistic director Kaoru Watanabe, the project uses an intensive, collaborative music-making process to explore the richness of our diverse experiences–and uncover the deep connections that bind us together.

The project is supported by the Mellon Foundation and the Baryshnikov Arts Center, and produced by THE OFFICE performing arts + film.
