The Haiga Duo + Eric Salazar and Corey Denham at Listen Hear 6/20/17


On Tuesday, June 20 at Listen Hear I attended a performance of  Eric Salazar and Corey Denham and The Haiga Duo. It was truly an intimate performance: I sat cross-legged about five feet from the performers:-)



Eric and Corey Performed first. They performed 3 works including a re-imagining of Eric's work "Soul Search" from his upcoming solo release on Centaur Records. Below is an excerpt from the last piece they played which Corey explained was created over the last year after meeting at the Classical Music Indy "Tuesday Mash Up! at the Melody Inn.



The Haiga Duo is Jason Chen on Accordion and and Eric Hollander on Viola.The Duo’s current project combines a form of the ancient Japanese household game poetry, Renku, with the original concept of “Living room Music”. Below is an excerpt from a project, developed over the month of June 2017 inspired primarily by the films of Yasujiro Ozu.



I look forward to hearing more music by these guys!
