ABOUT IN2ATIVE
Although classically trained at the Cleveland Institute of Music, IN2ATIVE’s vibe is anything but traditional. This avant-garde duo, consisting of Kimberly Zaleski (flute) and Trevor Kazarian (cello) specializes in a fusion of musical genres, combining the street rhythms of beat-box with jazz, hip-hop and rock, creating its own unique genre. The combination and blending of musical styles, mixed with jamming high energy and beat-boxing swing creates a product that is sweet but also very passionate. All of their pieces are original compositions, inspired by events and experiences, both past and present.
This year, IN2ATIVE has been chosen as Musicians-in Residence at the Cleveland Clinic, an honor garnered from their consistent outreach initiative through both the Clinic and University Hospitals. They are performing and teaching artists on the roster of the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning Agency (CAL). Through CAL, they have programmed both performances and workshops for children ranging in age from pre-school through high school. IN2ATIVE enjoys inspiring music students and has performed at the Western Reserve Chamber Music Festival and has also worked with college level music students at Penn State University.
IN2ATIVE has performed at a variety of venues in Ohio including Nighttown, The Bop Stop at the Music Settlement, LAURELIVE Music Fest, Larchmere Porchfest, Wildwood Cultural Center, Lorain County Community College, to name a few. They are very excited for their upcoming collaboration in January of 2017 with the renowned Dancing Wheels Company & School where their music will be paired with dance. Fun fact- they were invited to perform for the Executive Producers of “America’s Got Talent.”
Quoted by Jim Walker, former principal flute of the LA Philharmonic: “[IN2ATIVE] is one of the freshest concepts in today’s music scene. The musicians are first rate and their music is only innovative, but appealing to all listeners.”
