The Canadian quintet NEXUS approaches the notion of the percussion ensemble with an ear for innovation and a discipline for virtuosity.

Spontaneity has always been a major part of NEXUS' approach to performing its repertoire, and improvised pieces, such as Kichari, Reunion, and Tocatta were featured in the NEXUS anniversary season programs. In these pieces, the listener will find the musical heart of NEXUS.

Kathryn Cernauskas' first solo CD, covers an astonishing range of musical and compositional styles, from traditional through wildly contemporary.

Vivienne Spiteri, harpsichordist extraordinaire, has produced a phenomenal disc of aggressive and insightful new electroacoustic music.

Original, contemporary, guitar-based jazz. Strong melodies, elegant harmony, beautiful textures, great playing.
