One Voice, Many Frequencies brings together boundary-pushing artists, educators, and cultural leaders to explore how contemporary solo work is breaking down the walls between music, theater, and storytelling, and what that means for artists and audiences right now.

At the center of the conversation is Ahamefule J. Oluo, whose acclaimed solo performance The Things Around Us blends live trumpet, looping, humor, and storytelling to explore identity, memory, and connection. Their work is known for its emotional range, musical sophistication, and ability to transform deeply personal material into shared experience.

Oluo is joined by artists who represent a creative core of Boston’s music and performance scene as performers, builders of platforms, communities, and futures: Amanda Shea, Tim Hall, and Cliff Notez.

Rooted in lived artistic practice and real-world experimentation, One Voice, Many Frequencies offers a rare look at how solo performance is being reimagined right now by artists who are making the work shaping scenes, building communities, and inspiring the next generation of performers.
