RACHEL PANITCH & ANDRIA NICODEMOU

THREAD ENSEMBLE

Speaker at IGNITE: A conference for creative community builders on Sunday, May 20, 2018 at Lesley University Hall in Porter Square!

Thread Ensemble surprises and delights listeners by involving them directly in the creative process. Through its annual series of varied interactive events, Thread Ensemble adapts to each unique audience and environment with original music created in the moment. Thread Ensemble curates the connection between listeners’ lived experiences and improvised music. Thread Ensemble is the convergence of three unique voices: Abigale Reisman and Rachel Panitch on violins, and Andria Nicodemou on vibraphone and percussion.

Thread formed via an Ensemble Fellowship at New England Conservatory’s Community Performances & Partnerships Department in 2012 where they performed at community centers and schools around Greater Boston. Thread has since been chosen to represent NEC’s Contemporary Improvisation Department in a number of settings including a storytelling residency at Bridge Boston Charter School. Thread Ensemble has curated Happenings at Arnold Arboretum and Boston Public Market, and has performed at Boston Children’s Museum, Make Music Boston and the Outside the Box Festival on Boston Common. In 2018, Thread performed in a Sleeping Weazel production at the Boston Center for the Arts, and became Boston Foundation LAB Grant recipients.

Rachel and Andria on why community is important:

Relationships, sparked and developed in community, are how we understand the world and how we are inspired to create new work.
