Event Description
The Hugh Lane Concert series from the Abbey Church presents:
Izumi Kimura & Gerry Hemingway Duo
Izumi Kimura, piano
Gerry Hemingway drums/percussion
This duo began in 2016 as a series of residencies, rehearsals and performances in Ireland, and further evolved in 2018 in the context of a trio with bassist Barry Guy with the release of the recording “Illuminated Silence”. Both the duo and trio have since co-existed but it is the duo that has become a central platform for both players. There is by now a shared and well understood language between them that moves seamlessly between formal structures, spontaneous invention, as well as their unique interpretations of song. The release of “Kairos” in 2023 debuts this array of possibilities which continue to grow as a rich and varied performance platform for both musicians.
The duo has released two albums.
How The Dust Falls (2025)
Kairos (2023)
