About

KMFA Classical 89.5 presents the Offbeat Concert Series performance of Evoke – an exciting collaboration bringing together the genre-bending string quartet Invoke and internationally acclaimed trumpeter Brandon Ridenour for one-night only on April 26, 2025, in the Draylen Mason Music Studio at KMFA.

Trumpet and strings may hail from different musical families, but the synergy between Invoke and Brandon Ridenour is undeniable. This one-of-a-kind collaboration is a celebration of genre-defying artistry, blending refined classical elegance with folk, jazz, and modern sounds. Audiences can expect a dynamic performance featuring original works, reimagined classics, and a world premiere by Ridenour, inspired by Invoke’s innovative sound.

In addition to Ridenour’s world premiere, the show will also include Evolve by Invoke’s Karl Mitze, Tel by Invoke’s Nick Montopoli and array of covers and new arrangements including Vivaldi’s Sento e Seno, the Beatles’ Blackbird, and Wild Man Blues by Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong.

General admission tickets $30; student tickets $15. Seating is limited; advance ticket reservations are highly encouraged. Tickets are available now at kmfa.org/evoke.

Tickets include a pre-concert talk beginning at 7:00 p.m. and complimentary sips from Tito's Handmade Vodka, Milam & Greene Whiskey, and Dos Cuernos Tequila.
