Catherine Sikora
Joanna Mattrey
From New York to Paris to the wild coastline of the West of Ireland: “Bones, Rocks and Jackhammers,” is a concert reflecting on place, nature and the environment.
Featuring music by Finola Merivale and Catherine Sikora, this event is a celebration of the launch of Abhaile, – an album of three works for saxophone, improvisation and electronics, composed by Finola for Catherine. Hailed by The Washington Post as one of “23 composers to watch in 2023,” Finola is an Irish composer currently living in Paris, where she is a Fellow at Columbia University’s Institute for Ideas and Imagination. Catherine is a saxophonist living in New Mexico; she has been called a “virtuosic firebrand,” by The Brooklyn Rail and “a revelation,” by The Jazz Magazine.
In an opening set of improvisation, Catherine will perform some of her own compositions and will be joined by violist Joanna Mattrey.
