duoJalal
duoJalal, described by the Toronto Star as “fearless seekers and synthesizers of disparate instruments and cultures,” embody a powerful fusion of tradition, innovation, and personal connection. Their performances seamlessly unite diverse musical worlds, reflecting the marriange of Australian violist Kathryn Lockwood and Lebanese/American percussionist Yousif Sheronick—an artistic union of vitality and vision.
Audiences are captivated as Kathryn transforms her viola into a kaleidoscope of sound, shifting effortlessly from the voice of a medieval instrument to the expressive lyricism of modern repertoire. Yousif complements her artistry with a dazzling display of traditional and exotic instruments, moving between hand drums and vibraphone in a mesmerizing exploration of texture and tone.
