A Salon with Music. This event will take place for a live and streaming audience.

About this event

As vocalist, bandleader, composer and wide-ranging collaborator, Fay Victor has changed both the sound and the context of experimental jazz. Her Sirens & Silences project—“a memory document composition”—used the tones of sirens she heard outside her Brooklyn home at the start of the pandemic as the basis for a 23-minute composition. Her “Mutations for Justice” project is a rolling diary of the Trump administration using small compositional mantras to create “chanting protest music as a mutable entity to change how we see.” Her music responds to our shared moments and aims at transforming them.

At the Jazz Museum in Harlem, Victor will perform some of these compositions, along with bassist Luke Stewart and violist Melanie Dyer. Following the music, she will join series host Larry Blumenfeld and musician/music therapist Noa Fort for a discussion about how arts help heal trauma and how trauma inspires arts.
