This new quintet boasts two unique composers, an ensemble of uncommonly gifted accompanists, and an array of distinctive contemporary compositions. Cat Toren is a pianist and composer with six critically-acclaimed albums under her leadership and a JUNO Award earned with Pugs & Crows. Described as “vibrant, earthy and spiritual” by UK Vibe, the empathic Vancouver-born, Brooklyn-based Toren’s atmospheric abstractions and harmonic layering combines deep human warmth with creative fire. Composer and trumpeter John Korsrud is the leader and principal composer of Vancouver’s 18-piece Hard Rubber Orchestra. His compositions have been commissioned by The American Composers Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony, and Turning Point Ensemble. Korsrud’s diverse musical experiences include collaborations with Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Five Alarm Funk, and punk legends DOA.
Toren and Korsrud are joined by three of Vancouver’s most sought-after musicians in saxophonist John Nicholson, bassist Andre Lachance, and drummer Kevin Romain.
