This time, Kelley (flute) and Mark (trombone) team up for a special edition of the Soloist Series—presented for the first time at MISE-EN_PLACE in Harlem!
The Soloist Series began during our early days in Bushwick and has since become a core part of our season programming. Each year, one of our core musicians curates their own program, showcasing their instrument through original repertoire and collaborations. This is the first time two of our artists have co-created a program together—and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Kelley Barnett is a versatile flutist and composer based in New York City. She has performed across the United States and internationally in Sweden, South Korea, Italy, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. Comfortable in a wide range of styles—from Baroque to cabaret—Kelley has appeared at venues such as Joe’s Pub, Birdland, Rockwood Music Hall, DiMenna Center, and Spectrum. She is a longtime member of ENSEMBLE MISE-EN, with whom she has performed works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Hans Abrahamsen, Lukas Ligeti, and others.

As a composer, Kelley explores electronically manipulated sound and noise-based textures. Her debut composition, Bolt from the Blue, for flute and tape, premiered in 2015. She holds a Master’s degree in Contemporary Performance from Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with Tara O’Connor, and additional degrees from Lynn University Conservatory. Kelley has performed with groups including Tenth Intervention, ShoutHouse, The Secret Opera, and the Bozeman Symphony. Outside music, she co-owns Kuro Kirin Espresso and Coffee in NYC, where she connects with her community through both music and coffee.

Mark Broschinsky is a New York-based trombonist praised as a “true virtuoso on the instrument” (Rapid City Journal).
