Mar 12 Lara Solnicki | The One and the Other | Album

Vocalist, poet, and composer Lara Solnicki is a musician praised for her “boldly unique style” (All About Jazz), and her newest album is no exception. The One and the Other is an art song project that mines the tension between her music and poetry. “I call these songs ‘tone poems,’” says Solnicki, “because they are governed and held together by a poetic logic, as well as being an off-shoot of that tradition.” Described by A.F. Moritz (Poet Laureate of Toronto) as a “poet of the most advanced kind,” Solnicki’s great vocal range is matched by her emotional range, from intimacy to mystery, from sorrow to rage, exultancy to regret.
