Music in the Atrium - Lorne Nehring Trio

Описание: Music in the Atrium at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is live once again! Coming to you from the 2nd floor of the main atrium is the wonderful jazz ensemble the Lorne Nehring Trio.

The Tom Reynolds Trio emerged from the context of performing for Sunday worship services at St. Andrew’s United Church (near Bloor and Yonge in Toronto), where it is known as the “St. Andrew’s Trio.” Providing jazz music in a liturgical format opened unique possibilities for performing in a more contemplative, textured, and reflective mode, even while retaining the distinct elements of improvisation and spontaneous interaction among the musicians.

When performing live in clubs in Toronto, such as the Rex or other venues, the trio ratches up the intensity. Reminiscent of Bill Evans and Keith Jarett trios, the trio foregrounds the flexible and collaborative elements of jazz performance. Each original composition is melodically and harmonically structured to open space for responsiveness between musicians (piano, bass, drums), expressed in both subtle and full-bodied emotional contours. Strong melodic content and layered harmony through the writing provides a bedrock for the performance to convey intensity of feeling and improvisational vitality. The contemporary jazz sound that results is distinctive and unique to the trio, as each musician brings their own voice to the performance. The ‘band vibe’ is very much alive in what we do.

Thank you to the Tauba and Solomon Spiro Family Foundation for continuing to support this amazing program and bring music to Princess Margaret every week for over 25 years. Thank you to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation for recognising and supporting the healing power of music.
