Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Allison Crowe returns to the Victoria Conservatory of Music for a pair of intimate concerts to help raise funds and awareness for Victoria's Girls' Alternative Program (GAP). Combining classical virtuosity with the improvisational qualities of jazz and the gale strength of gospel and rock at its most visceral, the vocalist/pianist has been called "a force of nature" and "fearless" by critics who've found her impossible to pigeonhole. She's been compared to artists as diverse as Edith Piaf, Elton John, Nina Simone, Tori Amos and Janis Joplin. As one journalist said of Allison's original sound: "Make your own comparisons, then forget them."
