The City of Hamilton and local community choir, Earth, Wind, & Choir (EW&C), present the third and final instalment of “Pitch Blender at the Pier”, a three-part music series at an iconic Hamilton landmark. On Sunday September 15, Pier 8’s Gantry Crane, a testament to the city’s rich history of industry, culture, and community will play host to an end-of-summer evening of improvised ambient jazz, poetry, art installations and vendors – all of whom are from EW&C’s extensive network of creatives.

Experimental artist, Please and local poet/author/Ghost Variables member, Gary Barwin will collaborate throughout the evening, weaving between the ensembles and tying the performances together.
