Instrumentalist Brandee Younger will be presenting her new performance piece Prophetika: An Oratorio, which will feature harpist Mia Theodoratus and pianist Courtney Bryan, for the Greenwich House Music School's Uncharted Concert Series.
Younger is a New York native and a classically trained artist, recognized in the jazz and hip-hop worlds. Making her mark in the jazz world, she has played along Ravi Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, Reggie Workman, Charlie Haden, Bill Lee and Butch Morris. She has also crossed over to popular music, collaborating with producers and artists such as Common, Ryan Leslie, John Legend, Drake and Ski Beatz.
