This special evening was convened by Liz Lima as a gathering to connect Johanna & Vanita Monk (visiting from Rotterdam) with local improvisers. Vanita (voice) and Johanna (soprano sax, clarinet) started off in duo format, transcending language and showing a deep connection from decades of musical co-exploration. From there, each took turns with the local musicians, coming from different angles to respond to their sounds.
