Xylouris White is a musical collaboration established in 2013, involving Greek singer and laouto player George Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White, best known for his work with Dirty Three. The duo’s music has been described as combining “free-jazz, avant-rock and ages-old Greek folk traditions.” To date they have released three albums, and undertaken multiple world tours.

Toronto based improviser Karen Ng can be found in many different projects across a wide range of music. She has performed with Andy Shauf, The Weather Station, Lido Pimienta, Luka Kuplowsky, Badge Époque Ensemble, Tim Baker, L CON, Happiness Project, and Do Make Say Think. Currently Karen is involved in several improvising ensembles in the city including Rob Clutton Trio, p2p, Kind Mind, Craig Dunsmuir and the Dun Dun Band, See Through 4, InBetween as well as various ad hoc duos, trio and quartets.
