Beth McKenna Quintet & Jazz Orchestra

An exciting epic concert work that wanders between the boundaries of rock, indie-pop, fusion and cinematic, for all ages-- "Spaces Beyond Here", is an electric evening of global-crisis inspired music, pulling influence from pollution, war, perspective, communications and much more, written for jazz-rock fusion ensemble. Lauréate du prix Opus Concert jazz de l’année (2015-2016) pour "Home: Montreal", et finaliste du Grand Prix de Jazz TD 2019 (Festival International de jazz... de Montréal), Beth McKenna est reconnu comme l’un des plus polyvalents de la scène jazz montréalaise. À la frontière entre jazz fusion et rock, le travail que nous livre McKenna sur Spaces Beyond Here dénonce les crises globales actuelles et à venir, ainsi que les décisions que d’autres prennent et qui ont un impact sur notre vie. Concert @ Maison de la Culture Janine-Sutto (Frontenac) as part of Acces Culture Montreal's Winter 2020 programming www.bethmckenna.ca 24 fevrier - 19h30 - Billets sont maintenant disponibles! (Gratuit + frais de service de $2.00 par l'internet)
