Pittsburgh, PA – Kory Caudill, Wordsmith + Keith Caudill
October 21, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Join us for a transformative musical journey that bridges worlds and weaves stories of shared human experiences. Kory Caudill, a virtuosic pianist, and Wordsmith, a prolific spoken-word artist, have teamed up to create “A Concert for the Human Family.” Their harmonious blend of Appalachia, virtuosic piano, Hamilton-like narratives, and modern pop has been celebrated and embraced across the nation.
Immerse yourself in a captivating exploration of their music, which intricately melds instrumental classical virtuosity with Appalachian melodies, modern pop textures, and the stirring lyricism of hip-hop. American Songwriter praised this ensemble as a “sonic microcosm of the larger United States.” This isn’t just a performance; attendees are invited to journey deeper, becoming participants in a movement of reconciliation and unity.
The roots of this concert series trace back to a filmed event at the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, which garnered international attention, including Webby and Telly awards. This groundbreaking event has since echoed across the country, touching hearts and igniting conversations around unity, love, and our shared humanity.
Now, Pittsburgh, the city of bridges, becomes the latest canvas for this musical tapestry, binding together diverse sounds and tales from all walks of life. Moreover, this concert holds special significance as it celebrates the release of their new album, “Hill’s On Fire,” set for early November 2023. Dive into musical narratives that traverse two distinct worlds, revealing how strikingly similar they can be.
