Don’t miss your opportunity to hear the sounds of tomorrow, today, as live music returns to the Fox Cabaret April 12 with the mesmerizing violin and electronics duo Sapphire Haze drawing audiences into their immersive sound-world at Music on Main’s annual Emerge on Main concert.
Sapphire Haze is the duo of Cindy Kao (violin) and Aysha Dulong (electronics) who are familiar to Music on Main audiences. In November 2021, they captivated audiences at Music on Main’s 10th Modulus Festival with their spellbinding piece “Asphyxiation.” Then this March 2022, the artists were featured in Music on Main’s Digital Salons, where audiences got an insider perspective on their music-making process. Now, this spring, the rising stars return with a full-length concert on the Fox Cabaret stage where they take audiences on a journey beyond their listening senses.
When Sapphire Haze blurs the lines between acoustic and electronic sounds, it results in a rich multi-sensory experience: “We want the audience to engage all of their senses as they listen: touch, taste, smell, vision… We hope the music will take the audience beyond a listening experience to a new place they may have never visited at a sound-centered event.”
Audiences will enter into Sapphire Haze’s own dream space when they perform their evocatively-titled original pieces such as “Pastel Places”, “Gently Catapulted into Nothingness”, and “Seasick Velvet”. Solo violin and solo electronics interludes seamlessly tie together sensations of weightlessness, acceptance, falling, stillness, and release. The sound-world created by Sapphire Haze explores the possibilities that come when one embraces letting go and simply listening.
Emerge on Main featuring Sapphire Haze comes to Fox Cabaret April 12, 2022. Tickets and show details are available online at musiconmain.ca.
