Emens Auditorium proudly presents jazz pianist/composer Hiromi this Thursday at Pruis Hall. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available and are just $5 for BSU students. BSU faculty/staff buy one adult in advance for $17, get a second free. Don't miss your opportunity to see the artist the New Yorker calls, "DAZZLING!"

Mentored by giants like Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal and Chick Corea, Hiromi's roots are in jazz but her music explores a world of new ideas by blurring the boundaries of pop, rock, classical, avant-garde and other genres.

Born in Shizuoka, Japan, in 1979, Hiromi discovered jazz when she took up the piano at age six. Within a year, she was a student of the Yamaha School of Music, whose progressive approach to musical training allowed the young student to tap into her emotions while mastering the technical aspects of writing and performing. At age 14, she went to Czechoslovakia and played with the Czech Philharmonic. Three years later, Corea invited her to perform with him. In 1999, Hiromi came to the United States to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Hiromi established her reputation when her 2003 Telarc debut, "Another Mind" - co-produced by Ahmad Jamal - won the Recording Industry Association of Japan's (RIAJ) Jazz Album of the Year Award. Her subsequent releases all won her critical-acclaim and industry recognition.

Part of the personal connection she has established over the years is the result of making music without labels or restrictions. As a matter of principle, she'll continue to follow whatever moves her - be it a place, a person, an idea or whatever else - and leave the definitions to others. "I don't want to put a name on my music," she says. "Other people can put a name on what I do. It's just the union of what I've been listening to and what I've been learning. It has some elements of classical music, it has some rock, it has some jazz, but I don't want to give it a name."

For more information, visit Hiromi's site or check out Hiromi on YouTube.

Juno nominees and winners of the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine of Dala write and sing in harmony best described as angelic.  These two best friends met in their high school music class in 2002; they have since released five albums and toured extensively across North America. Darlings of the Canadian music scene, Dala are now poised to bring their fresh brand of acoustic pop music to the world.

Drawing upon influences like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Dala write songs that are both catchy and insightful. Amanda's ethereal soprano voice blends seamlessly with Sheila's velvety alto, creating the lush harmonies that have become their trademark.

"There's nothing pretentious about Dala's music; it's stripped
down and laid bare. That's not to say it is without polish - far from it.  Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther have worked hard to exploit every facet of their extraordinary musical blend, and it would be just as at home in a 1960s coffeehouse as it is now on the contemporary concert stage".  - Andrew Craig, Host of CBC "Canada Live"

The sheer joy with which they perform is infectious, turning first-time listeners into instant fans.  Dala are equally entertaining between songs, telling funny and down to earth stories that make every show unique.  Dala have opened for artists such as Tom Cochrane, Stuart McLean of the CBC's Vinyl Café, Richie Havens and Arlo Guthrie. No strangers to the festival scene, they have also performed at The New Orleans Jazz Festival, The Edmonton Folk Festival, California's Strawberry Festival and Mariposa. In 2009, they were the only Canadian act invited to play at the 50th Anniversary of the Newport Folk Festival.

"Dala can sing! What beautiful flights of melody and harmony,
reminiscent of the Everly Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, Emmylou Harris and associates; though Dala can trade a melody line and leave one wondering who is taking the lead and simply leave one behind when the harmonies kick in." - Peterborough Examiner
