Saxophonist/composer Sigrid Aftret presents the latest OJKOS mix spanning the contrasting landscapes of Gil Evans, Anna Webber, Henry Thredgill and Igor Stravinsky informing her own intrepid musical style. She directs the OJKOS residency performance at Victoria next Tuesday for those curious to discover more.

///

Sigrid Aftret is a saxophonist and composer based in Oslo. She studied jazz at the Norwegian Academy of Music and CNSMDP, the music conservatory in Paris. During her studies she got more curious about writing, and joined composition classes for both jazz, classical and contemporary music styles. In her music she implies serial structures and rhythmic and melodic counterpoints to create tension and unpredicted turns in her music. Creating her jazz quintet Bêl made it possible to experiment with an atypical instrumentation, and to develop her musical identity through composing. 

At long last, our most prolific resident artist - 52°N - returns to SVS with a timely autumnal pensive, dreamy mix evoking nocturnal moments spent by the sea. Featuring Abby Lee Tee, Jana Winderen,
