Musician Biographies
Linsey Wellman and Mike Essoudry met at the music program at Carleton University. Together they explore the possibilities of tone, rhythm and melody. They embrace stasis and movement, meditation and exuberance, delicacy and amplitude. Their improvisations and compositional sketches look both forward and back, to the ever new possibilities of instant creation, and to sounds, themes and evocations as old as humanity itself.
“Inspired music it is” Dolf Mulder of Vital Weekly
Adam Duncan earned a Bachelor of Arts, (Hons), in Guitar and Composition at Ottawa University and has studied sitar and Indian Classical music (ICM), with Guru Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan. Adam has appeared across Canada and the USA playing guitar and sitar in a variety of festivals and workshops. Combining elements of Jazz, North and South Indian music, this afternoon will mark the premiere of 5 new compositions.
“Beautiful compositions” Pt. Samir Chatterjee of Chayanandaan Foundation
Following family singsongs and classical piano lessons Megan Jerome earned a degree in jazz piano at Carleton University. Megan’s free-spirited and beguiling homemade songs have met rave reviews nationwide. Mike Essoudry is a fine percussionist who is closely tuned into the subtle groove of these gems of songwriting. Sweet and whimsical and crisp, Megan and Mike create music with plenty of space to feel their unique partnership and sense of play.
