Presents
FREEPLAY DUO
Inspired Eclecticism
15 JANUARY 2011, 8PM | THE ARTS HOUSE CHAMBER
Multifaceted musicians Suba Sankaran and Dylan Bell join forces to create the FreePlay Duo.
Described as “inspired eclecticism”, Dylan and Suba will take you from the concert halls of
Europe, to the jazz clubs of Manhattan, to the temples of India, and back to the cultural
mosaic of Toronto… all without leaving your seat.
Dylan and Suba first met in Toronto in 1993, singing in a jazz choir at York University called
"Wibijazz'n'": soon after, they started directing the choir together. At their year-end concert,
Dylan and Suba performed an a cappella "director's duet", and the Duo was born. What
started as a typical voice-and-piano jazz duo began to evolve: more instruments were added,
and more musical styles explored, to create a duo unique in its musical depth and variety.
Imagine Simon and Garfunkel crossed with a Bach 2-part invention... or an acrobatic jazz
melody combined with ancient Indian solkattu... or an 8-part vocal arrangement created by
two singers, right before your eyes... and you'll get a glimpse of what the Duo has to offer.
