Immersive Experience Week Feb 14-20, 2025: In concert with Black History Month, engage with a week-long residency celebrating Black artistry and excellence through concerts, open rehearsals, public talks, and educational workshops – culminating in Brueggergosman-Lee’s Zombie Blizzard as well as a stirring gospel performance with community collaboration.
Prepare for Zombie Blizzard, a daring, seven-movement song cycle based on the poetry of Margaret Atwood. Co-created with longtime collaborator, the eclectic composer, arranger, and pianist Aaron Davis, this arresting work fuses classical art song, jazz idioms, and feminist fire into a visceral performance that confronts grief, gender, and the human condition. Nominated for Classical Release of the Year and awarded Jazz Recording of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards, Zombie Blizzard features Measha with jazz trio and Salt Spring’s own Foothills Brass Quintet—connecting international artistry with local talent in an unforgettable collaboration.
A Juno winner and Grammy nominee, bestselling author, and one of Canada’s most commanding stage artists, Measha’s presence at ArtSpring is a cultural event. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience her brilliance up close in an intimate setting.
