Blackwood is an very unusual group – bass clarinet and piano --made up of  bass clarinetist Jeff Reilly and pianist/composer Peter-Anthony Togni; between the two of them they have 4 JUNO nominations.  They have a problem called “Day’s Last Glow”: a “haunting” and “atmospheric” mix of new and old; music composed and improvised on a unique foundation of Gregorian Chant, jazz, and Minimalism.  “Twilight: At Days’ Last Glow” was featured as part of the 2022 Elora Festival in Ontario, held in a church at dusk to reflect the concert’s title.  It was one of the best attended events of the festival!  Based in Halifax, they perform regularly at jazz festivals, new music organizations, classical music series—really just about anywhere.

 As two-thirds of the trio Sanctuary, Jeff and Peter have performed in Shanghai, Paris, London, New York, St Petersburg, Moscow, Riga, Toronto, Montreal and more, and on highly successful ECM album “Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae”.
