NIGHT MUSIC

Sound Symposium’s Night Music series presents Loopstitch. An experimental musical duo with Kate Read (@katereadviola) and Michelle LaCour (@motherofrunes_). Frequent collaborators since their first artistic encounter at Sound Symposium XIX in 2018, the two perform improvised music for amplified viola, accordion, and synthesizers, expanded upon with found sounds, pedals, and loops. Jumping-off points for their improvisations range from Baroque and classical works, to pop songs, to found sounds recorded across Newfoundland & Labrador. Loopstitch has performed at Sound Symposium, Electric Eclectics (@electriceclectics), the Canadian Music Centre, Freeze Brain (@brainfreezemtl), Hold Fast (@holdfastfestival), Inkfest, and in 2024 were artists-in-residence at Lawnya Vawnya (@lawnyavawnya). They were featured on Kate’s solo album, After, released in 2022, and are presently in residence as sound designers for Oderin (@oderin.movement.theatre), an original collaborative dance theatre work premiering on February 1st, 2025.

After their set, audience members are encouraged and implored to bring an instrument of their choosing on stage for the open jam.

Calling All Improvisers!

Night Music is an improvisational music series held the third Thursday of very month at The Ship Pub. Local musicians play a set of their own music, which serves as the basis for the improvisation that follows. Musicians collaborate with organizer Craig Squires to present the evening of music, both planned and impromptu. This is not an open mic, but all players are invited to come down and join the fun.
