ARKAI Performs in Saranac Lake

ARKAI

Award-winning electroacoustic duo (violin-cello) ARKAI performs genre-defying music that fuses progressive classical, rock, jazz, folk, and global with contemporary technology. They compose original music that combines the beauty of classical virtuosity with the electricity of a rock band and the spontaneity of a jazz combo.

Graduates of The Juilliard School, ARKAI engagements have included performances at The MET, Joe’s Pub, City Winery, Rockwood Music Hall, Lincoln Center, Musikfest, Chateau Marmont, Carnegie Hall, and TED. They recently opened for Oscar and Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste at YPO EDGE in NYC’s Javits Center.

Notable 2023 engagements include Jazz Aspen and the US Air Force Academy Symposium. ARKAI was commissioned by the Museum of Chinese in America to compose a work for their exhibition Responses: Asian Americans Resisting the Tides of Racism. ARKAI was recently honored with the 2021 Robert Sherman Music Education and Community Outreach Award presented by WQXR, The Juilliard School, and The Harold W. McGraw Family Foundation.

ARKAI was selected by the U.S. Department of State and the Association of American Voices to participate in the 2021-22 American Music Abroad season. ARKAI has performed hundreds of concerts around the globe, inspiring audiences and demonstrating the power of cultural diplomacy as a tool to bring people together.
