FASHION ART TORONTO
In Spring of 2019 Amber was invited to collaborate with slow fashion designer Cassandra Elizabeth to accompany her models walk the runway of Fashion Art Toronto. Amber collaborated with Cassandra and her yogis to create a unique and evocative soundtrack for the show.
SYML
During the winter of 2018 Amber embarked on a European tour with Seattle based artist SYML. Over the course of two weeks she and her string colleague Maya Killtron accompanied SYML in live performances for sold out halls in 6 countries and over 12 cities including appearances on television and recordings for radio.
MAYA KILLTRON
As a free lance cellist Amber loves collaborating with a great variety of artists. Sometimes projects have an extra special je ne sais quoi that really makes the job a vocation. Working with Killtron (singer, violinist and dj) in various contexts is one such example where Amber finds herself in a community of like minded artists inspired to continue along the creative path. Here is an example of Killltron’s arrangements of pop songs for string quintet. This group has given multiple performances at Toronto venues The Armoury and The Burdock.
THIN EDGE NEW MUSIC COLLECTIVE
In 2015 Amber joined Toronto’s Thin Edge New Music Collective and Montreal based Ensemble Paramirabo to tour a challenging new music program nationwide. The show included new works by Brian Harman, Anna Hostman, Patrick Giguere, and canonic contemporary works by Steve Reich and Louis Andriessen. The following year the two groups reunited to record the full album at the Glenn Gould Studio with producer David Jaeger.
IN THE CITY
Introduced to the band by their guitar player Steve Andrews, Amber has been recording and performing with In The City since 2015. The songwriting duo Ashley and Timon demonstrate an unfailing commitment to their work and Amber is proud to be their ‘first call’ cellist. Their music can be heard on CBC’s Heartland, Kim’s Convenience, Workin’ Moms and CTV’s Saving Hope.
