Join Jersey City based drummer and composer Raymond Carega as he presents his first concert of original works. This program explores the drum set as the voice at the center of the music and highlights composed material, improvisation, and conceptual approaches. The works are designed to engage, challenge, and celebrate the act of listening, both for the musicians and for the audience.

This concert is an opportunity to support the broader arts community: each composition reflects not just a personal journey, but a commitment to making music that serves art itself, invites collaboration, and celebrates creative voices. Frames of Reference is a look into Raymond’s musical world – personal, exploratory, and intentional – from his perspective as a performer, composer, and member of a thriving music community.
