B’shnorkestra was created by composer Samantha Boshnack in 2011 in an effort to create a new large ensemble that explodes boundaries and brings musicians from many different musical communities together. The compositions incorporate improvisation and groove into intricate orchestral music.
“Under the direction of Joshua Kohl, B’shnorkestra provides both compositional brilliance, and improvisational latitude… notions of freedom and spiritual unity are beautifully expressed by Boshnack’s modal transitions providing a musical landscape not “fragmented” by cultural bias.” (All About Jazz)
