Natural Elements is a collection of original laments, lullabies, hymns, airs and odes from Hayley Ryerson. Inspired by the work of late fiddler-composer Oliver Schroer, this collection of music is rooted in traditional forms while simultaneously reaching into ephemeral, improvisational, and textural realms. Accompanied by harpist Ellen Gibling, this evening will be the premier of this work.
Hayley expresses this series of suites with a unique, understated tone on her fiddle. Immersed into the natural key centres of each of the fiddle's strings, the music is at once for rest & reflection as it is for savour & celebration. An exploration of what it means to be in one's element.
Doors at 730pm. Livestream link available through ticket purchase.
