Hard Rubber is very proud to present the world premiere of Montreal composer/pianist Marianne Trudel's Nature Speaks: 8 Haikus with the composer herself as soloist. This musical meeting between Vancouver's 18-piece powerhouse jazz orchestra and one of Montreal's finest jazz pianists and composers is an amazing start to Hard Rubbers 29th season!
Hard Rubber Artistic Director John Korsrud explains why he pursued this collaboration with Trudel: " I've had tremendous respect for Marianne's musicianship since I first heard her in 2005 and I'm very excited to have her write for and perform with Hard Rubber. Not only is she a rising star in the world of improvising piano, she is a talented and nuanced composer with fantastic attention to detail, very skilled at orchestration and has proved she can handle a large-scale commission through her 50-minute composition for LOrchestre National de Jazz de Montreal. She is a composer with an amazing and original harmonic sense, very unique in the world of jazz and improvised music and is strongly influenced by contemporary classical music."
