Events
ace is proudly hosting this year’s send+receive. BUT not all the gigs are at ace- for a full listing go here.
Local legend, Joel Mierau will be giving a rare performance at ace on the occassion of alto saxophnoist, Brodie West’s, first Winnipeg concert. The gig starts promptly… it’s really a special, unique event.
Info:
Joel Mierau is an artist and sound engineer working in Winnipeg. whose work is informed by his intimate perception of subtle changes in sounds. This is a theme that influences + reoccurs throughout his work, often in the use of long tones and discrete movement.
Alto saxophonist Brodie West’s fascination in sound has taken him from Alexandra Park to Addis Ababa.
Originally hailing from Nanaimo, British Columbia, jazz studies at Humber College brought Brodie to Toronto. Emerging as a member of Zebradonk, Deep Dark United and Drumheller, he was soon in demand as a featured guest, adding his spirit to recordings ranging from Broken Social Scene’s seminal You Forgot It in People to more recent appearances with Jennifer Castle, Snowblink and Tasseomancy. Studies at the Amsterdam Music Conservatory with Misha Mengelberg lead to musical encounters with percussionist Han Bennink as well as The Ex, culminating in two tours to Ethiopia and the group’s collaborative recordings with Getatchew Mekuria.

Benefit for Justice for Errol
A night of good sounds in support of the Justice for Errol group. Performers:
Burden: deconstructed piano legends https://
Rosa Reaper: vocal loop blair witch project https://
Hypat1a: dreamy fearie experiments for laying around https://soundcloud.com/
Funds raised at this show will go towards the costs associated with the inquest into the murder of Errol Greene at the winnipeg remand centre in May last year. Though Errol’s widow Rochelle was granted standing at the inquest, the state does not provide any funding for legal representation, or other costs such as childcare, etc. Please consider making a generous donation, as costs will be very high, and no amount of benefit shows will make any significant dent in that bill. More information about the case will be available at the event, and a link to a pamphlet put together by the J4E group is posted in the comments on this event page.
Show starts early! please arrive on time! doors at 7pm, show is 8pm-10:30pm SHARP.
Suggested donation of $8, no one turned away for lack of funds.
Ace art is not an physically accessible venue, for this we apologize.
See you all there! For any questions please contact us through the J4E page, thank you.
Big thanks to Ace Art for their generous donation of the space to host the event ♥♥♥
please also share this gofundme with your networks, and donate generously: https://www.gofundme.com/
