She pursued composition and studied at the University of Calgary with Gregory Levin, Marilyn Engel and Allen Bell, to name a few but in her last year of her graduate degree she became very interested in combining the structure of “Art music and Electronic music” with the freedom of improvisation. After completing a graduate degree in Composition and theory she embarked on a career as a composer providing award winning original music for Theatre, Dance and National media companies as well as a variety of commercial and artistic enterprises across the spectrum of music genres. Lorna will be presenting a quintet with a great line-up of musicians for her Attic debut. This includes Jon McCaslin (drums), Richard Harding (saxophones), David Lavoie (trumpet) and Jeremy Coates (bass). There are not enough recognized female composers in jazz music - Lorna should be listed in the same breath as Canadian composers like Christine Jensen, Laila Biali, Jodi Proznik, and so many others. Lorna is an artist and composer with a depth that is rare, and this concert will celebrate the compositions and voice of a legend of the Calgary jazz scene.
