Canadian clarinetist, composer, and improviser François Houle leads a world renowned all star supergroup, presenting a suite of new compositions and arrangements inspired by British author Kassia St. Clair’s writing on colour. From ivory to obsidian, Houle explores the colour spectrum and its close historical connections to music, weaving a rich and suggestive tapestry of sounds.
