Kardias Quing

A contributing soul to Vancouver music culture for nearly a decade, Filipino/Canadian artist Kardias Quing offers a message of love and sovereignty to her community. Through her collaborations with producer and long time friend Withinroots, they have cultivated and continue to create a repertoire that uplifts, and empowers. Influenced by Indie, R&B and Alternative Pop, her creative efforts cut through the woes of modern distraction, and bring us all back to our infinite possibility!

“Watching Kardias Quing live is like a big, warm bowl of soul food. Treat yourself!”

Spindle!

An exploration of storytelling through sound, Spindle! is a project to devour the senses. Spinning threads to pry into memory and story, Kria uses the likes of personal lyricism, compositional colour, and sonorous conversation to delve into a space between jazz and art music. Spindle! is comprised of Kria Wall on voice, Thad Bailey-Mai on trumpet, Katie Stewart on violin, Thomas Hoeller on guitar, Madeleine Elkins on guitar, Sydney Tough on bass, and Jamison Ko on drums.

Bandleader, composer, and vocalist Kria Wall is a vocalist, composer, and educator based in Vancouver, Canada. Growing up within the roots of qathet on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Kria has always been drawn to the sounds of their home, their music a reflection of their story. Through composition and performance, they have surfaced as an exciting find in Canada’s jazz and art music scene. Kria represents the queer, non-binary, and neuro-divergent experience as a musician and artist. They respectfully honour the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where they reside and create as a settler on stolen lands.

About The Series – UNDER THE ATRIUM

Discover your new favourite troubadour.

3 evenings. 6 artists. This fall, join us at KW Studios for a new series that features original vocal music from young musicians.

Singer-songwriters are the musical historians of our lives – weaving lyrics and melody into sonic tales about love, loss, hope, home, friendship, identity, and everything in between. This series aims to spotlight the fresh new voices that are doing just that.

Each artist brings their unique voices and lived experiences to tell their story through song. From indie pop to modern jazz, alternative r&b to folk, listen and lean in to a new yet familiar sound #undertheatrium.

September 15th. October 20th. November 3rd.

Special thanks to KW Studios, City of Vancouver – Cultural Services, Canadian Heritage, and BC Gaming for their funds and support.
