Kate Blechinger Quintet

(Edmonton)

Kate Blechinger is an award-winning vocalist, composer, and arranger based in Treaty 6 Territory.

  •  December 11, 2021
     7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Musically, Kate takes direct influence from the vast prairie landscapes of her youth to create expansive, evocative compositions and arrangements for listeners to enjoy. Pairing the lush harmony and spirited improvisation of jazz with sincere storytelling born out of the folk genre, Kate creates a fusion that is personal, poetic, and playful. Kate’s debut 2018 album, Under a Dancing Sky, features innovative folk-jazz arrangements of Joni Mitchell’s compositions alongside several of Kate’s original songs. “[Her] arrangements are sculpted perfection and Blechinger’s voice like liquid peace.” Chris Haynes, CBC News, September 2019.
