Kenaniah Project

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile since we introduced ourselves and so we wanted to make a re-do to include photos of our new members! We’re the Kenaniah Project, and we’re so excited to share our music, strange photos of Dylan and Kellen (see #9), terrible jokes, and more with you. Thanks for joining us for the journey!

A little bit about us… We are a musical ensemble that was formed in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. Originally a group of friends from the Eastman School of Music, we are now spread out all over the country where we continue to study, play in professional orchestras, serve as ministers in local churches, and/or serve as music teachers. Our first meetings as a group were on Zoom where we discussed what it means to be artists of faith and the unique perspective we can contribute to the two communities that we dwell in: the church and the world(s) of classical/jazz music. With this in mind our mission statement was born: to unite faith and artistic excellence for the glory of God. Our goal is to fuse elements of classical, jazz, and folk music as each of us brings our eclectic musical experience to the collaborative creative process.

We’re so excited to get to share the many projects we have in the works and for you to be a part of this journey with us!

Another successful Kenaniah Project writing retreat is in the books! We are extremely grateful for the various ways you all support us whether that be concert attendance, asking questions and keeping up with our new and ongoing music projects, and praying for us. We so appreciate all of you (and we apologize for our social media management and their insistence on every single post including photos like these). We’ve got a busy summer coming up at (catch us there during weeks 8 and 9!) and we’ve got lots of new music coming your way before too long…
