Event Description

Irish-based Japanese pianist Izumi Kimura and US-born, Switzerland-based drummer/vocalist/vibraphonist Gerry Hemingway began working as a duo in 2016 developing their shared language through a series of residencies and performances in Ireland (as well developing further in a trio context with bassist Barry Guy). A refined language of formal structures, spontaneous invention, and unique interpretations of song was presented in their 2023 debut Kairos, “demonstrating that music can link effortlessly across time, genres, and any preconceptions in the hands of the right performers.” (Sammy Stein, Platinum Mind) This tour is coordinated with the release of their second album, How the Dust Falls released on Auricle Records.

Gerry Hemingway has been creating and performing solo and ensemble music since 1974. He has led a number of quartet & quintets since the mid 80’s as well as being a member of a wide array of collaborative groups including BassDrumBone (whom celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2017), Brew w/Reggie Workman & Miya Masaoka, a trio with Georg Graewe & Ernst Reijseger, the Swiss based WHO trio with Michel Wintsch and Baenz Oester, Tree Ear with Sebastian Strinning and Manuel Troller, as well as numerous duo projects with Izumi Kimura, Marilyn Crispell, Samuel Blaser, Thomas Lehn, John Butcher, Ellery Eskelin, Jin-Hi Kim, a o. Mr. Hemingway is a Guggenheim fellow and has received numerous commissions for chamber and orchestral works. He is well known for his eleven years in the Anthony Braxton Quartet, his ongoing participation in projects with Reggie Workman including the collective trio Brew, along with his work with some of the world’s most outstanding improvisers and composers including Cecil Taylor, Mark Dresser, Anthony Davis, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Wadada Leo Smith, Frank Gratkowski, Simon Nabatov and many others. He currently lives in Switzerland having joined the faculty of the Hochschule Luzern between 2009 and 2022.

Izumi Kimura and Gerry Hemingway's appearance is made possible in part due to support from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia & Culture Ireland.




Marco Neri (synths) and Viviane Houle (voice) are a Victoria-based duo blending free improvisation, abstract song, and composition to craft immersive soundscapes. Their performances traverse the spectrum from dense, chaotic textures to moments of exquisite delicacy and sparseness. Drawing inspiration from Houle’s graphic scores and text fragments and embracing the spontaneity of pure improvisation, they create music that is deeply moving, uncensored, tender, and majestic. The duo’s dynamic interplay invites listeners into sound worlds that feel both profoundly personal and expansively universal.(synths) and Viviane Houle (voice) are a Victoria-based duo blending free improvisation, abstract song, and composition to craft immersive soundscapes.
