Emerging Artist Training by Fifth House Ensemble

Digital Edition: June 7-20, 2021

About the Festival

Since 2012, Fresh Inc has helped performers, composers, and pre-formed ensembles to envision and launch their own authentic careers in music, rooted in adventurous genre-defying collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and meaningful partnerships with audiences and community.

This year, we re-imagined the festival as a digitally-connected experience! Learn more about what we created together this summer.

"I’ve gained so much from this festival! Great friends, great performances, and great wisdom! I think many of us will look back at our musical careers and say, 'It started at Fresh Inc.'"

"There is lots of potential in creating virtual programs such as concerts and educational programs for virtual audiences. With a team of passionate professionals like 5HE, the outcome can be amazing and super effective! Things can be more affordable and accessible for the audience.

"I learned how many options there are to make digital art and digital interactions work in the industry. And I learned that it's time to take those skills and help transform the arts world!

Described by one pretty important radio guy as “not classical…but not not classical,” invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The band encompasses traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism to create truly contemporary repertoire, written by and for the group.
