The Matt Lagan Quartet opens Humber Music’s 2024-2025 Noon-Hour Concert Series.
Matt Lagan, saxophonist and electronic wind instrument (EWI) player leads this all-Humber-Alumni band which includes Sean Clarey on guitar, Scott Hunter on bass, and Louis Baranyi-Irvine on drums. An electronics-infused experimental jazz quartet, they perform original compositions and arrangements. Their November 6 concert will present works ranging from high-energy, bebop-influenced tunes to smokey, atmospheric pieces with a subtle groove, and takes place in the beautiful new Recital Hall located in the newly opened Humber Cultural Hub (HCH) at the Lakeshore Campus.
Matt is an internationally active saxophonist, EWI player and composer from Toronto. He graduated with honours from Humber Polytechnic in 2017, studying with Pat Labarbera, Kirk MacDonald, Alex Dean, Lorne Lofsky, Brian Dickinson and Neil Swainson, and was the recipient of the Hnatyshyn Oscar Peterson Award. In 2018, Matt joined the famous Toronto band The Shuffle Demons and has since recorded three albums with them and toured twelve countries around the world. Since 2019, Matt has been living in Europe between Germany, Italy and France.
