***TEPKI is a professional music collective, variable in size and adventurous in repertoire, dedicated to performing music from as many different traditions and in as many different styles as possible. Performing in alternative venues and collaborating with artists and organizations from other disciplines are central tenants of the group’s mission. Over the course of the next year, TEPKI will be working to establish itself as a cultural hub that expands the possibilities of what a concert can be and what music education can mean–while also bringing great new music to the community.
