About
Special guest artist, the Aline Homzy Duo with Michael Davidson.
About Aline Homzy:
Aline Homzy is a Montréal-born violinist, residing in Toronto. Having studied classical music for many years, she discovered her own voice through improvising. Aline has toured Canada, the USA, Europe and South Korea playing her original music. She has played with Canadian jazz greats such has David Occhipinti, Andrew Downing, Allison Au and Michael Davidson. Aline’s focus on community flourished when she started to understand how prohibitive the arts are to low-income families and individuals. Furthermore, she is currently working on an initiative to bridge government and artists for further understanding of how artists function in our society. Aline is also a big advocate for women instrumentalists in jazz and has held events highlighting many accomplished musicians, giving them a space to share their art with broader audiences.

About Michael Davidson:
Toronto-based vibraphonist & composer Michael Davidson has built a reputation on moving fluidly between genres, consistently defying stylistic boxes. His music has been described “as sensuously immediate, yet questing, as it is both structurally rigorous and open in poetic effect” (The Jazz Journal). Michael is an in demand collaborator across the improvised, jazz, and creative music scenes. His musical pursuits blur the lines between composition and improvisation drawing equally from jazz, free music and classical traditions.
