22 JAN; OTTAWA, ON, CA: Pierre-Yves Martel (viola da gamba) and Ben Grossman (hurdy-gurdy)



Pierre-Yves Martel (Constantinople, Sainct Laurens) and Ben Grossman (Loreena McKennitt, Ensemble Polaris) – viola da gamba and hurdy gurdy, running the gamut from medieval music to Swedish folk, and from musique actuelle to electroacoustics. A rare convergence of two virtuoso musicians creating new sounds with ancient instruments in a fully improvisatory context.
