Max Ribner Bio:

What are the common threads that bridge soulful music to spiritual connection and community service?

This is the question that drives international touring artist and Berklee School of Music graduate, Max Ribner (he,him). The sound is rich, reverent, and intimate, connecting us through the lineage of music, to the stories of our ancestors. Max's unique and fusion-inspired approach to Flugelhorn and trumpet has led him to perform with artists such as Esperanza Spalding, Nahko And Medicine For The People, Rising Appalachia, Trevor Hall, and Liv Warfield (Prince). The result of years of collaboration with such a broad musical community is powerfully illustrated on Max's debut solo album, 1st Language, which brings 50+ artists together in a cross-continental collaboration as a sonic calling together of our collective humanity. 

Inspired by a deeply personal three-year journey of being cracked open and alchemized by life’s challenges, Max’s upcoming album, Resilient Beings, will be a collection of modern-day mantras and torch-bearing songs to bring the listener a sense of coming home to self. By piecing soulful grooves with community singing, we welcome you on a musical journey that creates a path of presence by going into the heart.

Workshops:

When we speak, there is tone.  When we move, there is rhythm. 

Bridging the gap between stage and audience, Max Ribner and local artists welcome you to an immersive experience/workshop where we all become part of the orchestra.  We will be writing a song that presents itself in the moment while learning basic rhythms, choir parts, deep listening, and creative lyric writing. As a collective, we will journey into a prayerful space of connectivity, belonging, and coming home through song. Participants will then have the opportunity to share this song that evening during the evening performance!!!

All voices, ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome.
