raig Addy is a pianist, composer, improviser, and teacher. He holds a performer’s A.R.C.T. from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and a B.Mus. from the University of British Columbia. Craig has a passionate belief in the power of beauty and his primary expression of that is through music. Craig is unusual in that he’s a classically trained pianist who loves to improvise. There’s nothing as intoxicating and mysterious as what happens when spontaneously improvising music. 

He’s also fascinated by sound and the science behind sound as he explores the the physics of sound and the emotional, aesthetic, and psychological elements of music by creating new and unique environments in which to experience music. His “Under the Piano” sound spa and weekly Music Oasis performances with the Quiet Hearts Ensemble both provide new contexts in which to experience music.

ABOUT CREATIVE MORNINGS

In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg (Swissmiss) started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone.

Today, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals.

The growing archive of past breakfast talks is humbling. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. CreativeMornings remains free thanks to the support of local sponsors, generous venues, and longterm partners.

Anyone can attend. Register a profile at creativemornings.com to be alerted to the next Creative Mornings Vancouver event. Ticket lottery registration will open Wednesday, December 21 at 11am
