Fulcrum Point New Music Project Presents
AuxIn: Connected!
Angelo Hart: Space and Dissonance

Pianist, composer and improviser Angelo Hart makes his AuxIn: Connected! featured artist debut. Angelo is Fulcrum Point's 2022-23 season co-curator alongside violinist Caitlin Edwards. 

This set features original improvisational ideas by Angelo with a focus on musical components that zero in on the intimacy of creative music: Space and Dissonance. Joining Angelo will be drummer Avreeayl Ra and saxophonist Dave Rempis. 

Angelo Hart has always had a unique and expressive approach to his instrument. Angelo has studied jazz and classical legends such as Thelonius Monk, Art Tatum, Cecil Taylor, Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Debussy, Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, and many more. He approaches the piano with command and finesse, displaying a unique relationship and connection between the two of them. His latest album, My Song For You, was released on May 1, 2022.

Avreeayl Ra is a Chicago legend in the richly progressive avant-garde jazz scene over a career that has spanned more than a half a century. His muscular, soul-seeded beats have been described as stirring tempos that drive animated sonic conversations. His boundless versatility refracts an infinite sonic spectrum in the improvisational soundscape he has co-created in the many cultural communities to which he belongs.

Dave Rempis has been an integral part of the thriving Chicago jazz and improvised music scene since 1997. Rempis’ musical expression draws on a number of touchstones. While heavily improvisational in nature, his Greek ethnicity, studies in jazz and ethnomusicology, an appreciation for the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary composition, and a love for unforgivingly strident yelps, screeches, and squeals all inform his work.

AuxIn: Connected! is a series of pop-up events hosted by Fulcrum Point New Music Project that connect  rising professionals with emerging musicians throughout Chicago. Held in clubs and bars, each mixer features a unique line-up of new art music designed to stimulate curiosity and conversation. Come solo or bring a date, grab a drink, and experience something completely new.

The concert will also be live streamed. If you watch , please support the artists by purchasing a livestream ticket. Find the link at the Buy Tickets button above.
