A live-streamed solo performance for cello, electronics, and live visuals by Justin Wright, in collaboration with the National Arts Centre. This performance is part of the #CanadaPerforms initiative, made possible by the generosity of Facebook, Slaight Music, the RBC Foundation, SiriusXM Canada and the NAC.

Justin Wright is a cellist and composer who strives to push the boundaries of new classical and experimental indie music, and to erase the lines between synthetic and acoustic sounds. A prolific collaborator in countless Montreal-based musical projects, Justin has established himself as one of the city’s most innovative and versatile cellists, performing internationally in classical concert halls and underground loft venues alike. A former molecular biology researcher, Justin takes an exploratory and experimental approach to creating music, integrating composition, production, and recording into a single process, and fostering an environment where mistakes and spontaneity are embraced as integral tools for creation. His most recent release is a collaborative 12" vinyl with composer Peter Broderick's piano reworks of Justin's tracks.
