Experience ACQ's Norwegian debut at Trondheim's favourite book bar! Friday, June 7, 2024 Doors: 1900 Concert: 2000 - 2100 Open Jam: 2130 - 2230 About: Born in western India, Agneya immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 2015. As a South-Asian diasporic, his arts practice draws on complex feelings around identity and migration, blending his musical heritage with learnings in jazz & contemporary music from studying under Pat Labarbera, Mike Downes, Larnell Lewis and Mark Kelso at Humber College. Deeply influenced by groove & improvisation, his music enables audiences to enter a meditative state as they bear witness to his personal story and to the creation of new narratives, all anchored within universally shared cultural contexts. Having performed across India & Canada, Agneya has served as a juror for the Juno Awards, and more recently, as the artistic associate for Banff Centre’s 2021 Jazz & Creative Music Residency. In July 2022, agneya debuted at the Toronto Jazz Festival as a bandleader.
