Lisa Mezzacappa - Bruce Ackley Duo
Lisa Mezzacappa and Bruce Ackley are long time collaborators and no strangers to spontaneously conceived soundscapes. Lisa on double bass and Bruce on soprano sax and clarinet will offer a set of compelling improvised music that will explore the timbres and sonic qualities of two extremely different instruments. This concert will be an intimate opportunity to experience their intuitive connection.
