Bio
The Awakening Orchestra is an 18-piece jazz orchestra led by Kyle Saulnier and performing his music. Featuring young, virtuosic musicians with a flair for the dramatic, the orchestra is devoted to the ideal that music can and should be used not only as a source of entertainment but also as a catalyst for thought and change. Heavy handed yet remarkably agile and adaptable, the orchestra's weight lies in its ability to interpret thoughts rather than to recreate them.
