ResidencyHCX positions this invitational residency as an opportunity to innovate and workshop concepts and works-in-progress, showcase new work, and build networks for artists’ future presentation (e.g. booking, touring) at other cultural institutions and stages.Rarely do artists receive a consistent opportunity to create and share in “real time”–to develop their ideas in a beta form, experiment, and refine amidst presenting publicly. Over the course of 6 weeks, resident artists receive a platform to fine tune approaches, activate jam sessions, and explore sonic possibilities while developing relationships with their audiences.On Thursday evenings, artist-composers host unique sets joined by a rotation of guest artists and ensembles. Performances offer the opportunity to showcase new work and workshop arrangements across the musical landscape, from traditional genres reverberating the strength of the tanbou to the contemporary sound like fusion jazz and electronic music carrying Haitian vibration into the future.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMFirst Set🕑: 07:45 PMSecond Set - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/mizik-ayiti-residency-|-rasin-okan-|-june-18-2026/100001989113630414 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Art, Entertainment, Music, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 60, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 35 Lafayette Ave - **lat**: 40.6870735 - **long**: -73.9776226 - **full address**: 35 Lafayette Ave, 35 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mizik Ayiti!
