As vocalist, bandleader, composer and wide-ranging collaborator, Fay Victor has changed both the sound and the context of experimental jazz. Her Sirens & Silences project—“a memory document composition”—used the tones of sirens she heard outside her Brooklyn home at the start of the pandemic as the basis for a composition. At the Jazz Museum in Harlem, Victor will perform some such compositions, along with bassist Luke Stewart and violist Melanie Dyer. Following the music, she will join series host Larry Blumenfeld and musician/music therapist Noa Fort for a discussion about how arts help heal trauma and how trauma inspires arts.
