Majid Khaliq & No Looking Back | Fri & Sat Feb 6 & 7 | 7:00PM & 9:30PM

String Joints to the Point brings together violinist and composer Majid Khaliq and his ensemble, No Looking Back, for a powerful exploration of the price of happiness through string-driven music with a heavy, soulful edge. Rooted in groove, rhythm, and deep musical connection, the project blends strings, voice, and improvisation into songs that reflect both personal searching and collective experience. The ensemble features Conun Papas on keys, Warren Louie on bass, and Josh Farrell on drums, forming a dynamic foundation for Khaliq’s expressive violin work. The performance also introduces an exciting new voice with featured vocalist Saniyyah, whose presence adds emotional depth and urgency to the music. String Joints to the Point is a statement of community and conversation—music that leans into honesty, weight, and shared feeling while pushing the boundaries of contemporary string-focused performance.
