Newport Classical presents a free, Community Concert featuring Kinan Azmeh’s CityBand (Kinan Azmeh, clarinet; Kyle Sanna, guitar; Josh Myers, bass; and Shane Shanahan, drums), recognized for their virtuosic and high energy performances. With his New York-based ensemble, Kinan balances classical music, jazz, and the music of his homeland, Syria. His expressive clarinet meets Kyle Sanna’s rustic guitar, soaring at times over the dynamic and volatile backdrop of Shane Shanahan’s percussion and Josh Myers’ double bass. Each band member has come from varied backgrounds to add their personal flair to this ensemble, resulting in a thoroughly rewarding listening experience.
