Foonyap and Kensington Sinfonia

Our third Village Session features Calgary violinist/composer FOONYAP in collaboration with the KS String Quartet.

Making a genre of her own, and often acting as an entire band unto herself, FOONYAP has wowed audiences across Canada and beyond since her full-length solo debut, Palimpsest, in the Fall of 2016. Her influences are diverse: early studies as a Classical violinist, playing with Calgary indie bands like Woodpigeon, and knowledge of traditional Chinese music. She brings together her lifetime of sonic influences into her own language, combining acoustic and electronic sounds that keep a thread from the folk and Classical worlds while moving ahead on her own path.
