ARKAI (Jonathan Miron & Philip Sheegog) is an award-winning string duo that redefines the boundaries of musical genre — fusing classical virtuosity with the electricity of a rock band, the spontaneity of a jazz combo, and the beauty of a string quartet. Graduates of The Juilliard School, their past engagements have included performances at The MET Breuer, Rockwood Music Hall, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, 92nd Street Y and TED. In collaboration with seven-time Grammy-nominated producer Joel Hamilton, ARKAI’s debut album, Aurora, will be released in 2022
Workshop: Entrepreneurship + The 21st Century Artist Citizen
Versatility is critical in building a modern career in the arts. In this presentation-style workshop, ARKAI uses their own journey and discoveries as a model for exploring the critical skills and mindsets of entrepreneurship, from event producing to social media marketing to audience cultivation and more. This workshop will also explore the importance and real-world applications of artist-citizenry, using one's artistry to give back to society.
This event was presented in partnership with the US Consulate General in Vancouver and generously supported by the Azrieli Foundation.
