Summer Concert: Küf Knotz & Christine Elise
Saturday, August 2 | 3:00 PM
Don’t miss this genre-defying musical experience from Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, a dynamic duo blending hip-hop, soul, and classical harp. Their immersive, uplifting performances inspire movement, connection, and joy.
During their 2023 Bloedel Reserve residency, the pair explored the micro-movements of nature—rippling water, fluttering wings—creating multimedia works including the video “Rotation” and a documentary capturing their creative process.
Named Best Rapper of 2022 by Philadelphia Magazine, Küf and Christine have performed with Wyclef Jean, Digable Planets, Say She She, and more.
Come early, bring a friend, and get ready to move—this free concert starts at 3:00 PM!
