The Rogue Folk Club Presents: CAROLINE KEENE AND TOM DELANY

Playing Irish traditional music on concertina and uilleann pipes, Caroline Keane & Tom Delany are a vibrant, young duo whose musical expression transcends their years. Their sound, deeply rooted in tradition yet bursting with energy and heart, is a compelling celebration of the music they were raised on.

NAIA STRING QUARTET: Light, Rhythm and Movement

Vancouver’s hottest new chamber ensemble, Naia String Quartet, will play an evocative program featuring three vibrant contemporary works: Osvaldo Golijov’s haunting Tenebrae, Caroline Shaw’s richly textured Plan & Elevation, and Jessie Montgomery’s energetic Strum. Together, these works explore darkness and light, rhythm and movement, and our connection to place.

Vancouver Percussion Collective Presents:
AMBER CHEN & GAËL CHABOT-LECLERC

Vancouver Percussion opens its first concert series with a Marimba and vibraphone duo. Percussionists Amber Chen and Gaël Chabot-Leclerc pair the warm, wooden resonance of the marimba with the shimmering sustain of the vibraphone in a program that goes from Romantic sketches to jazz standards. It will be a program full of colour, groove, and lyricism, showing how much two players can draw from bars and mallets.

.

KEVIN SPENST AND CATHERINE OWEN: READINGS FROM THEIR NEW WORKS

Poets Kevin Spenst and Catherine Owen will read from their new works, which utilize a broad range of literary voicing — verse, narrative prose, interview, essay — and photography to inquire about the nature of home and place. The fingerstyle guitar artistry of Chika Buston will open the evening.

.
