Sackville Citizens band plays at Ok.Quoi?!

August 4, 2012

The Sackville Citizens Band joined Motion Ensemble in a concert at the Ok.Quoi?! Contemporary Arts Festival! on Friday, August 3, 4:30pm at the historic Sackville Music Hall. The music was a conducted improvisation by the composer Jérôme Blais.

Originally from Québec, Jérôme Blais now lives and works in Halifax, where he teaches at Dalhousie University and performs as a pianist and improvisor. His compositions have been performed by a vast array of musicians and ensembles across Canada. Jérôme’s work frequently focuses on the integration of improvisation into composition, and at OK.Quoi?!, he lead musicians in his “Conduction” process, as a means to creating a performance together.
