Hey there, time traveller!

One of Canada’s most gifted pianists and composers, David Braid, is among a new generation of Canadian artists making his mark on international stages.
Tonight, he’ll take to the stage at the Lorne Watson Recital Hall at Brandon University.
Combining harmonic intricacies fundamental to his training in European classical music and the spontaneity of American jazz, Braid’s original music engages audiences with a quiet, thoughtful, lyrical voice that does not conform neatly to any one musical genre. He is a recipient of numerous awards from the Junos to the National Jazz Awards to the Canada Council for the Arts and Socan.
Braid graduated from the University of Toronto in 1998. Since that time, he has produced several recordings, garnering four Juno nominations with five ensembles. Three of these ensembles have performed in the Lorne Watson Recital Hall: The David Braid Sextet, Murley/ Braid Quartet, and Nimmons’n’Braid.
Braid’s return to the Wheat City is part of his current western Canadian tour, which focuses on his solo piano compositions. He’ll will be releasing his first solo piano recording later this year. Tonight’s recital begins at at 8 p.m. Admission is $10.
