Kendall Perry (they/them) 
Composer, Guitar(s), Piano, Vocal Harmonies

An Ocean of Becoming is a retrospective of Kendall Perry’s transportive instrumental works spanning over ten years.  This concert takes you on a current of sound, transcending time and words, communicating the ineffable. Just as we surrender to the ocean’s waves, An Ocean of Becoming is an invitation to greet the wide expanse of each moment.

After receiving their MMus from Guildhall School of Music in 2019 and moving to NYC, they’ve been gigging around the city on drums and guitar ever since. This is Kendall’s debut NYC show of their original music. An Ocean of Becoming features brand new works and re-imagined pieces from collaborations with Colorado-based dance company Wild Heart Dance (“The Beloved”, “The Vulnerable Cure” & “Last Land Before Sky”). The concert also includes compositions from Kendall’s early projects (“Unravel” & “Destinata”).

As a trans non-binary person existing in the in-between, Kendall seeks to create liminal spaces beyond fixed realities through their music. They are influenced by minimalism, experimental rock, and their background in jazz, all sources that culminate in a rich, cinematic, layered sound.
