Concerts 17, 18 and 19

Concert 17 – Sunday, March 20: Kyle Brenders Ensemble

The Kyle Brenders Quartet is one of Toronto’s newest groups exploring the spaces between the stylistic cracks of Jazz and Improvised music. Brenders, a former student of Anthony Braxton and Alvin Lucier, has brought together some of the most talented young players that are currently working in the Toronto scene. These players, Mark Segger on drums, Steve Ward on Trombone and Tomas Bouda on bass, tap into their own creative instrumental vocabulary to communicate through Brenders’ distinctive compositional output. The energy of this group is balanced by technique and creative expression allowing the music to ebb and flow through extremely dynamic textures and forms.
