1 pm | ALINE’S ÉTOILE MAGIQUE
Montreal-born Toronto violinist Aline Homzy's étoile magique is a collective that paints the sonic canvas with celestial strokes, captivating audiences with their unique artistry in the contemporary jazz scene …with Michael Davidson on vibraphone, Dan Fortin on double bass, Thom Gill on electric guitar and Marito Marques on drums.
2 pm | CAROLINE DAVIS & WENDY EISENBERG
New Yorkers, saxophonist Caroline Davis and guitarist Wendy Eisenberg have history together. “A nucleus is supposed to be an especially essential form in eukaryotic cells. Their nuclei are surrounded by a membrane, which in that world permits them to be said to have “true nuclei.” Even their smallest parts, their organelles (incidentally also the name of Caroline’s keyboard heard throughout the record), are held by that membrane. The deepening of our musical friendship, the affordance of space we give to the possibility of synchronicity, the reminders we write of the preciousness of our existence - all of this we put into these songs for you, to help us all accept these miracles and metaphors, in our lifeboats”.
