With two JUNOs to her credit\, Kiran has always been celebrated as a master of the profound vocal traditions of India and Pakistan (DownBeat praises the “emotional richness” of her singing). Yet these are traditions that she simultaneously honours but also updates in remarkable ways. \nHer original compositions\, while intensely Indian\, have also been influenced by Kiran’s deep delving into the realms of jazz\, western blues\, soul\, and rock\, and especially the haunting trance blues of Mali. Over her storied career she has also had memorable collaborations with everyone from fado legends to superstar Celtic fiddler Natalie MacMaster. Appearing with a quintet featuring renowned jazz artist Rez Abbasi on guitar and similarly skilled performers on drums\, tabla\, and accordion/organ\, the boundary-blurring Kiran will take the audience on a unique and enchanting musical journey.

Elizabeth will be on site Aug.31 and Sept. 1 demonstrating her process. \n“My work in acrylic is a melding of light and shadows from places either real or imagined\, presented in a loosely representational style. Featuring vibrant colors and often incorporating water\, my pieces are inspired by music and aim to capture the dynamic interplay between sound and visual experience. Through these abstracted landscapes\, I reflect the inherent beauty of the environment while evoking a sense of rhythm and emotion.” URL:https://www.wkartscouncil.com/event/artist-in-residence-for-august/ LOCATION:J.B.
