SUMMARY:FROTAE @ Silence
DESCRIPTION:+ Dan Laughrin\, Liberté Anne\, Genviève Gauthier\, Joe Sorbara \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, 12 July\n1pm\nFROTAE +\nDan Laughrin\, Liberté Anne\, Genviève Gauthier\, Joe Sorbara \nFROTAE is an ensemble of five saxophonist-improvisers whose work combines microtonal composition\, collective listening practices\, spatialized sound\, and improvisation. They have been working as a core unit since 2023 when they began to develop a deeply collaborative musical language rooted in long-term experimentation and collective listening. The ensemble creates immersive listening environments in which the tactile and psychoacoustic properties of the saxophone become physically perceptible to audiences as performances move between the feeling of playground and sacred ceremony. \nFor this Guelph performance\, Liberté Anne will present a reduced version of FROTAE\, taking on one of its modular facets in the form of an electroacoustic sound-installation with live performance. \nFROTAE member Geneviève Gauthier will perform live\, interacting with pieces are drawn from the raw materials on FROTAE’s upcoming album\, volume 2\, reworked for this new collaborative iteration in a spatialized listening setting by David Psutka (Halocline Trance). \nThe Montréal-based visitors will also be joined by Guelph’s own Dan Laughrin on guitar and Joe Sorbara on drums and percussion for a set of freely improvised pieces.

SUMMARY:Jessica Rhaye\, Bill Preeper & Sandy MacKay
DESCRIPTION:Catch New Brunswick based artist Preeper Rhaye MacKay bringing their unique folk vibes for a night you won’t want to miss!\n\n\n\nStep into an evening of rich harmonies\, thoughtful songwriting\, and timeless folk music with Jessica Rhaye\, Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay – together known as Preeper Rhaye MacKay. \nFrom New Brunswick\, Canada\, the trio takes listeners back to the height of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960’s\, while bringing a sound that feels timeless yet entirely their own. Finely blended three-part harmonies\, shared lead vocals\, and a seamless mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation that echo the spirit of Woody Guthrie\, Ian Tyson\, and early Bob Dylan. \nAcclaimed songwriter and Canadian Folk Music Award nominee Jessica Rhaye\, with more than 25 years of touring and nine albums to her name\, leads on rhythm guitar\, while Bill Preeper’s intricate fingerstyle guitar and mandolin add richness and depth. Sandy MacKay rounds out the trio on upright and electric bass\, with touches of banjo that add warmth and colour to their sound. \nTogether\, they create an intimate and engaging performance\, often likened to a modern-day Peter\, Paul and Mary\, showcasing music from their ECMA Roots-nominated album Wood & Wire (2024) and their much-anticipated follow-up album Blackberry Lane (2026). \nWhether you’ve followed folk music for years or are simply curious to experience it live\, this concert offers an evening to settle in\, listen closely\, and connect through song\, story\, and harmony.
