The band uses their unique blend of classical and hip-hop music, often described as “classical boom,” to overcome stereotypes and encourage people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join together to break down cultural barriers.

As an undergraduate studying English at UC Berkeley, Samin Nosrat took a detour into the kitchen at the Chez Panisse restaurant which determined the course of her life and career. Since 2000, she has aimed to create work that inspires, creates community, and raises cultural, social, and environmental awareness.

Long Center Create is our fourth stage — a digital, interconnected program where you can not only find interesting performances and discover local artists, but also for our Austin artists to find you. Explore with us!
