Artist: Tania Gill & Rebecca Hennessy
Song: [excerpt from 2nd piece]
Recorded at Array Space (Women From Space Festival – Night 3), March 10, 2019.
Tania Gill & Rebecca Hennessy - [excerpt from 2nd piece]The first Women From Space Festival saw four excellent concerts take place over the course of the International Women's Day weekend. Organized by Bea Labikova and Kayla Milmine, the festival felt like a really savvy gathering, always more than the sum of its parts and showcasing the depth of talent in the city's various creative music streams in a women-centred environment.
Trumpeter Rebecca Hennessy and pianist Tania Gill have played together in quite a few ensembles over the years, but by their own account this was their first time improvising together for an audience. No surprise that for a couple players whose works include a lot of song-based music, there was a lyrical quality to their interactions here, even as Gill explored some extended piano techniques and Hennessy played with the room's sonics by using the piano as a resonating chamber, playing into its raised lid.
[Tania Gill will be offering both music and some thoughts on her journey to climate activism at "Elephant In The Room", an event at the Burdock on Thursday, June 6th hosted by The Weather Station's Tamara Lindeman.]
