Hannah Mazurek is a Whitehorse-based vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, conductor, composer, and technician. They have performed in concert and theatre settings across the country including the oratorio Miziwe… everywhere by composer Barbara Assiginaak (Koerner Hall, Toronto, 2019), Larrikin Entertainment’s WYRD: A Musical Unfairytale (Yukon Arts Centre, 2023), The Loon Returns (Problematic Orchestra, 2023), and I Think I’m Fallin: The Songs of Joni Mitchell (Belfry Theatre, Victoria, 2023). With a formal background in classical music, they are the current Artistic Director of Whitehorse’s Problematic Orchestra and have composed for theatre, stage, and film.
When they’re not writing or performing, you can find Hannah coiling cables and plugging things in, as well as playing in many, many, many bands. They also do other things, perhaps too many things, but they’ll spare you from having to read a list of them. Learn more at hannahmazurek.com
1ST Educational vignette with jazz aficionado Steve Gedrose
2nd Featured act, The Hannah Mazurek Quartet
“How do you create music that’s simple and comforting, but adventurous and exciting at the same time? In other words, can you make an audience go “ahhhh” in the same sentence as “hunh?” With a dash of vocal jazz syntax, a tablespoon of surprising harmonic progressions, some honest lyricism, and a splash of delightful time signature math, The Hannah Mazurek Quartet will do their best to serve you up a platter of tunes that are equal parts personal and playful. This genre-defying project will combine original composition with favourites from artists that toe the lines between jazz, blues, classical, folk, and whatever else they happened to be listening to that day.”
3rd The jazz jam closes out the evening introducing yet more jazz ‘n blues ‘n improvisational and world music musicians including instrumentalists and vocalists sitting in with the band.
