on the ‘hat : Voice, flute, pianoJazz standards with an unusual flutey twist and some contemporary classical music – specialize in music by local women
on the ‘hat is an ensemble of musical friends (Marnie Setka-Mooney, soprano; Diane Berry, flute; Kathryn Le Gros piano) that has performed together for a number of recitals and concerts in the last few years. The name of the group recognizes that the Malahat is a connector for the members; Marnie lives in Lake Cowichan, Kathryn in the Westshore and Diane in the Mount Douglas area. Some of their earliest performances were concerts of contemporary classical music, particularly that of Leila Lustig, and Diane Berry. More recently, they created BeMused, a concert featuring 4 Canadian Women composers, that was performed at the Canadian Music Centre in Vancouver and the Ward Room in Esquimalt. They have performed live and live-streamed events celebrating Advent and Lent, as well as in a full concert video during covid.
While all three are classical musicians, their love of the music of a variety of genres has meant they each have played with other ensembles specializing in jazz, folk, and even oldies rock. They now bring that eclectic mix together in their programs.
