The North Project. A collaboration between not only some of the finest Musicians, but some of the more adventurous and yet sensitive sculptors of sound you will come to hear.
You are invited to experience music, born out of passion and molded by the love of a lifetime of dedication, for an art form that is truly astounding.

Our aim is to further develop the concepts of creative music, to promote the art of improvisation and share our experiences with other musicians and listening audiences, young and old.

We anticipate a positive outcome that will enhance our skills, as well as those of other musicians. We hope that audiences will continue to support creative music and thus ensure a future for musicians, especially for the up and coming younger players that dedicate their lives to perfecting the art form. Music not only gives pleasure, but has been proven to be therapeutic in more ways than one, for both the player and the listener.
