Modern Marimba creates spaces to reclaim the musical voices of living, formerly living, and collective people who have been muted throughout western history. We are based in Sarasota, Florida, an area once stewarded on Indigenous Calusa territory and once inhabited by the Angola community known as Black Seminoles.
About Us
Modern Marimba started in October 2019 with a mission by co-founders Tihda Vongkoth and Michael Jones to curate concert music programs featuring the marimba, vibraphone, and many types mallet percussion keyboards.
