Canvas Collective is the result of some of the top professional musicians in Central Virginia coming together to play in an original and completely uninhibited musical space. The group begins the creative process as a visual artist would – with a blank musical canvas – and proceeds to play without any pre-conceived or rehearsed ideas about harmony, style, or form. Because the players in Canvas Collective have worked together for many years in other projects, the result is a conversational listening experience where the players seem to talk to one another with their instruments in real time.
