Music at the Smith: The Giving Shapes

Sponsored by Parc Retirement Living

The Giving Shapes is a collaborative project between harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn and pianist/vocalist Robyn Jacob that formed in fall 2017 at the Banff Centre for the Arts. The project triangulates aspects of folk music, chamber music, and songwriting, combining their classical training and involvement with the Canadian creative and indie music scenes. Though they originally met while both pursuing degrees in classical music at UBC in 2007, they share an interest in many musical styles. Their sound reflects broad influences from artists including Nico Muhly, Bjork, Jonny Greenwood, David Lang, and Caroline Shaw.

Music from the duo’s projects has been featured in jazz festivals such as the Montreal and Toronto Jazz Festivals, new music festivals like Music on Main, and indie pop festivals, including the Campbell Bay Music Festival.

Thorn and Jacob will be playing music from their The Giving Shapes catalogue as well as music from their respective solo projects, Elisa Thorn and https://www.instagram.com/immix.sound
