About the artist: Nora Barton is a cellist, recording artist, event producer and educator based in northern Kentucky. She recently returned to the state from Chicago, where she performed in symphonies, rock bands, avant-garde ensembles, theater productions, and more, for 15 years. Her performance practice has surpassed the barriers established by classical training and allowed her to pursue a wide array of genres, with collaborations ranging from experimental improvisation to dancing around with an amplified cello in a punk marching band. Upon her return to the Cincinnati region in 2021 she continued to cultivate creative collaborative opportunities to further explore the benefits of listening to cello. Nora regularly accompanies yoga classes, hosts ambient noise jams and performs often as Planchette, an experimental solo project that enriches spaces with ethereal cello energy. She also enjoys teaching cello and piano to beginners of all ages. Matthew Shelton (Flex Your Love Muscles) will be providing live projected visuals during Nora’s set.
