Innovative, four-time JUNO-nominated cabaret/classical music singer-songwriter performs at BlueShore at CapU, Oct. 3. Tickets are $42.
Renowned for her spellbinding voice, poetic lyricism and fearless artistry, four-time Juno Award nominee Sarah Slean brings her distinctive sound to BlueShore at CapU.
Citing such diverse influences as Leonard Bernstein, Joni Mitchell, Bach, Buddhism and philosophy, her music borrows aspects of cabaret, pop, and classical music – all knit together by unique arranging and piano playing and a voice described by CBC as, “a 19th century Kate Bush”. Slean has released 11 albums, composed orchestral and chamber works and collaborated with top symphonies and contemporary ensembles across Canada. She has opened internationally for such artists as Bryan Ferry, Rufus Wainwright, Alanis Morissette, Andrew Bird, Feist, Ron Sexsmith, and Chris Isaak. Her 11th solo recording "Metaphysics", released in 2017, is described as a "breathtaking amalgamation of Slean’s dramatic orchestral arranging and her signature take on songwriting.” In 2021, her latest album Sarah Slean & Symphony Nova Scotia earned a Juno nomination for Classical Album of the Year – Vocal or Choral Performance.
