Not Seeing is a Flower, Leanne Zacharias

Cellist Leanne Zacharias’ approach to musical life has been compared to extreme sport—from soloist to collaborating across genres with choreographers, writers, architects, visual artists and musicians of all stripes, she has emerged with a uniquely vibrant and contemporary voice. Not Seeing is a Flower presents the cello in a series of distinct dialogues and collaborative responses, including a choreographic video work by Lesandra Dodson (Fredericton), stop-motion video by Christine Fellows (Winnipeg) and the premiere of a new chamber concerto by Nicole Lizée (Montreal). Additional works by Travis Weller (Austin, TX), Andrew Norman (NYC) and Michael Oesterle (Montreal).

GroundSwell will also be launching Zacharias’ new album, Music for Spaces, which features contemporary solo works recorded off-grid in unique environments and acoustic sites around rural Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Guest curator, Leanne Zacharias.
