Artist Bio courtesy of the Algoma Conservatory website:
"Gabrielle Abulencia, from the Philippines, has been shaping his voice on the guitar at Algoma University, presenting a repertoire ranging from classical Baroque, Latin American works, to a theme and variations on a traditional folk song of Japan, as well as exploring the concentration of Jazz improvisation. With nuanced approaches to modal standards like Nardis and singing romantic ballads.

Stepping outside of conventions, Gabrielle will also be performing a raw and unfiltered alternative track - embedding what can be described as a catharsis, from soft lines to heavy rhythmic guitar riffs. Extending his expressive range has always been a driving factor for personal artistic contentment, and this recital will finally bring in everything for this exact goal."

SUNDAY APRIL 12TH, AT 7:00PM.
Algoma University music students Malia Kirk & Lily Kuti will be performing their joint graduation recital as the 'KirKuti Duo'! This recital is a culmination of 3 years of study and collaboration which celebrates both performers musical accomplishments though solo and ensemble performances.

~Formed in 2023, the KirKuti Duo has worked on pieces from composers such as Brahms, Moszkowski, and most recently, Mozart. The challenges of duet playing have further refined their solo work, while strengthening their musicianship through artistic expression, partnership, and most importantly, fun! :) Brought together by AU Music, this duo will continue to collaborate long after completing the program.
