Playground.Is & Bend Sinister

A few months back we were thrilled to be a part of the latest playground.is event featuring the great local band Bend Sinister. The playground.is concept is simply: Take one band, one audience, and give them one challenge. Create a song together, and then record it. In less than an hour.

The night was hosted by Vancouver institution, Zulu Records and the results are now online for all to enjoy! How many little red cans can you spot in the video?

Check it out, and pass it on!

Aloha Waikiki.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012: Eve Egoyan, solo piano

When pianist Eve Egoyan performs composer Ann Southam’s Simple Lines of Enquiry, you’ll discover why The New Yorker’s Alex Ross wrote that he couldn’t stop listening to this “immense, mysterious piano piece.”

Written especially for Egoyan, Simple of Lines of Enquiry has captured the imagination of music lovers around the world.  Now the celebrated pianist brings this mesmerizing and meditative piece to the intimate Heritage Hall for its Vancouver premiere.
Egoyan is hailed as “a performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts.” (National Post)  If you’ve heard her live or on recording, you’ve been held spellbound by that power.

Presented with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival
