Kenji Bunch writes music that looks for commonalities between musical styles, for understandings that transcend cultural or generational barriers, and for empathic connections with his listeners. Drawing on vernacular musical traditions, interests in history and the natural world, and techniques from his classical training, Bunch creates music with a unique personal vocabulary that searches for emotional truths about the human experience from the profound to the absurd and to help facilitate connection and healing through entertainment, vulnerability, humor, and joy.
Widely recognized for his groundbreaking works for viola, Bunch remains active as an innovative performer, comfortable in traditional, experimental, and improvisational musical contexts. For more information, please visit www.kenjibunch.net
