Skyler Hagner Nonet
About the Nonet:
Since 2015, the Skyler Hagner Nonet has brought their innovative chamber sound and ambitious programing to clubs, festivals, and private events from Philadelphia, PA to Portland, ME. The performances are influenced by modern jazz and contemporary classical music, highlighting tight ensemble work and fiery soloists. The nonet has received support from Jazz Road, a national initiative of South Arts, and the Guilford Performing Arts Festival, which commissioned [Invisible Cities] – Humanity, Memory, and Decay, for the 2021 edition of the festival. Other support has come from Pathways to Jazz, New England Musicians Relief Fund, and LMCC.
