Every type of alt-keyboard, it would seem \u2014 except the old upright acoustic pianos that define the honky-tonk sound.<\/p>\n<p>T\u00f6nky H\u00f6nk\u2019s members, Madeline Hildebrand and Everett Hopfner, have standout classical creds. Both are winners of Canada\u2019s Eckhardt-Gramatt\u00e9 National Music Competition. Hildebrand (a faculty music professor at Memorial University in St. John\u2019s, N.L.) has performed alongside such artists as Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet, while Hopfner is the former director of Brandon University\u2019s music conservatory.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, for all the album press release\u2019s high-falutin classical verbiage, there\u2019s something delightfully low-fi about The \u00cbP. With its lush jazz-tinged soundscapes \u2014 sparse but with ample room for Hopfner and Hildebrand\u2019s startling virtuosity to really rip \u2014 it\u2019s not easy listening, but it\u2019s sure easy to listen to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014 Conrad Sweatman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Franco Foot Centre culturel franco-manitobain, 340 Provencher Blvd. Through June 26 Free entry, reservations at ccfm.mb.ca Looking for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":744918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-744917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=744917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/744918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=744917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=744917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=744917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
