Very pleased to announce that I’ll be doing a monthly residency concert at the Southern Cross Room at the Tranzac (Toronto) from October 2025 to March 2026.Each 2nd Thursday of the month, Montrealer saxophonist Ariane Morin aims to create a space for new collaborations in Balkan, Greek, and Turkish music with musicians from the local Toronto diaspora scene. Each month features a different formation or focus—whether a dance-inspired Balkan brass night, an intimate café-aman style Greek set, and other possibilities—all showcasing the saxophone’s expressive capacity across varied contexts within Balkan and modal traditions.
We’ll kick off the concert series with a brass band focus alongside musician colleagues I adore working with and have been collaborating with over the past year. They need no introduction: Max, Nathan, Ian, and Jaash are current and past members of Lemon Bucket Orchestra, and are active musicians on the Toronto music scene and beyond.
