Come celebrate the release of Calgaréal's first LP "Vanishing Points"!The event will feature a listening of the whole album, and social mingling with the Calgary based musicians of the group. Bring a yoga mat if you would like to listen lying down!
Calgaréal is a collective of eight musicians from Montréal and Calgary. Coming from different horizons, these artists find a common interest in traditional music and improvisation. Their original music presents their conversations in music; conversations between two cities often pictured as wildly different, conversations between different musical traditions. Playing with elements of traditional music from China, Quebec, and different parts of Europe, they present an assorted original program bouncing between various traditions and experimentation, with brand new compositions and arrangements.
After launching the collective with shows in Calgary in Montreal in 2022, they have released a live EP and are releasing a studio LP in the Fall of 2024.
From Calgary: FOONYAP (vocal, violin), Jeremy Gignoux (violin, viola), Jiajia Li (flutes, dizi), and Robin Tufts (percussion, drums).
From Montréal: Aurélien Tomasi (clarinet, saxophones), Hugo Blouin (double bass), Mathieu Langlois (guitarra flamenca, saxophones), and Sébastien Leblanc (guitars, cobza, caval, tilinca).
