LIVE MUSIC: Sara & Kenny
Italy meets Wisconsin, classical meets jazz, exploring songwriting as a couple.
When Italian Sara d’Ippolito met American Kenny Reichert in Milwaukee, WI, they immediately realized they shared more than their love of music. After falling in love, the now married couple started writing songs together. Based in Chicago, Sara and Kenny are composers, educators and multi-instrumentalists. Their music is a unique blend of intricate harmonies, jazz, folk, classical, electronic and world music. Sara and Kenny both play guitar and sing, but in a way you have never heard before.
