You are invited to the Tuesday Night Lights talk series: Faith and Art: A Conversation on Beauty and the Sacred. Each Tuesday evening, we’ll welcome a different artist or art expert from within our congregation to explore the meaningful intersection between art and spiritual life as they share their stories and lead a conversation. Come for some evenings or join us for them all, and step into a space where stories, questions, and shared reflections can awaken our sense of wonder, stir our hearts with beauty, and renew our hope in a broken world.

About Kenzie Slottow
Kenzie Slottow (they/them) is a musician, composer, producer and improv conductor. They write and perform music on flute, guitar and vocals, as well as producing and directing concerts and work that highlight connections between art forms and people.
Kenzie is a keen technology-tinkerer with a love of theatrical improvisation. They love improv because it makes us listen deeply to ourselves and others, trust and support each other, and lean on each other’s strengths to bring something brand new into the world every time.
Kenzie's EP "Hold It Up To The Sun" of original music for flute and electronics is built around the concept that looking at something from a different perspective almost always reveals new insights. They currently play and produce with new music collective Density 512 in Austin, Texas, and hosts Conduction events where groups of 5-15 musicians experiment with long-form conducted improvisation.
While studying Classical Flute Performance at the University of Michigan in her hometown of Ann Arbor, they played Irish flute in a band called Killarney Broadcast, studied Hindustani traditional music of North India, and played at weekly bluegrass jams in her dorm lobby. In Austin, Texas where they earned their Master's in Flute Performance, Kenzie added beatboxing, loop stations and pedals to their musical toolkit.
