Formed in 2020, Abilene is a quartet whose cinematic compositions marry classical and modern elements with an emphasis on narrative storytelling. Electronics, percussion, and sounds made with household items often supplement the core instrumentation of Joshua Spacht, piano; Katie Foto, violin and vocals; Gaylyn Foto, cello and vocals; and David Molina, synthesizers. The Miami-based ensemble’s unconventional, genre-bending artistry is driven by the belief that music should serve, inspire, and elevate the soul.
